Police have said enquiries so far indicate there was a silver hatchback in the area at the time and have urged the occupants of the car to speak to them.
Sergeant Nicola Gillespie said: “Officers have been carrying out enquiries and are continuing to study CCTV images from the local area.
“I would urge anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident who saw anything suspicious or has any information that may assist our enquiry to contact us.
“I’d also appeal to any drivers with dash-cam to review their footage and please contact us if it holds anything relevant.
“If you can help please contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0981 of Wednesday, July, 24, or make a call anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
