“I am especially keen to hear from anyone who has CCTV or Ring doorbell footage which covers the car park area of the pub or who may have been driving past between 9pm and 9.40pm and who may have dashcam footage. I would also like to hear from anyone on Pittsdale Avenue if they have CCTV or Ring doorbell footage at around this time.
