Detective Inspector Steve Clark from the Armed Crime Squad says anyone with information is urged to come forward.

‘There are bullet holes in the car – our problem is we’ve been unable to speak to our victim,’ he said.

‘We are really in the dark as to what’s occurred, it may well be that he’s been shot in the car, we don’t know.’

He said they were eager to speak to him about the incident.
