Officers have released an image of the vehicle, captured on CCTV, suspected of being involved, and would like to speak to the driver or anyone who may have seen what happened.

PC Steve Dessouki-Harman, from the Polegate roads policing unit, said: “Though not of the highest quality, we’re hoping the image will jog people’s memories or result in the driver coming forward.”

Anyone able to assist is asked to report details online or to phone 101, quoting serial 817 of 29/01.
