"Those who have chosen to commit this callous act clearly do not care about the consequences of their actions, and may be thinking they got away with it under the cover of night. But be rest assured, this is certainly not the case.

"We have a dedicated team of officers working around the clock to find those responsible."

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting incident number 968 of October 24. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
