Police were called and searches of the area took place, involving the police helicopter, however, more than a week later no arrests have been made.

Detectives are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time and may have dash cam footage. They particularly want to trace anyone who was on a nearby footbridge.

Inspector Shane Fasey said: “This was despicable behaviour which could have led to a very serious or potentially fatal road collision.

“It appears to be an isolated incident at this time but we would urge motorists to be cautious around this area of road and report any suspicious activity to police.”
