Dangerous Incident – Dumfries
Police in Dumfries are seeking witnesses to an incident which took place in Rosevale Street in the town at around 1335 hours on Wednesday 26 November 2014. At that time seven 14 year old pupils of St Josephs College were walking on the pavement when a small, dark blue coloured car, in the style of a Toyota Auris, drove along the pavement towards them, before pulling off and driving off at speed.
This incident follows an earlier incident which took place outside the Spar shop on Rosevale Street, where the driver of this vehicle had an exchange of words with the boys. The driver is described as being between 5’9” and 6’ tall, skinny build, between 50/60 years of age, short grey, untidy hair, local accent and was wearing dark rimmed glasses, a mid length light coloured jacket and jeans.
Constable Stephen Easthill, School Liaison Officer for St Josephs said “thankfully no-one was injured in this incident, however it could have been a catastrophe. I am appealing to anyone who can help us identify the driver of this vehicle to call us on 101, or indeed the driver himself to come forward to explain his actions.”
