We have had a very positive response from members of the public who either witnessed or have information in regards to the incident. 
 
We are working through the information provided and making good progress towards identifying those responsible. 
 
We know this incident has been unsettling for the community and I want to reassure residents that we are doing everything we can to hold those involved to account.
