Inspector Graeme Neill added: “Incidents like this are extremely rare, however we have stepped up high visibility patrols in the area.

“I am satisfied that the risk to the general public is very low and I can reassure the community that we have a dedicated inquiry team actively pursuing those responsible.

“Part of the roadway has been cordoned off and the local community are thanked for their cooperation. The road is still accessible to traffic.”

Anyone with information or concerns can speak to a local officer, contact officers on 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
