The man was released on conditional bail pending further enquiries.

Detective Chief Inspector Steve McGrath, the Senior Investigating Officer, said: “Progress is being made in our investigation but we don’t want anyone to see arrests and think we don’t still need any information which is out there. If you know anything and have yet to come forward, please do so.

"What you may know or have captured may seem insignificant, but could still form a vital part of this investigation. Let us make that assessment.”

Anyone with any information can contact us via social media @MerPolCC or call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting reference 22000796038.
