POLICE have seized a car they believe had been driven away from the scene after a crash.

Officers initially wanted to speak to the driver after seeing to damage to the bonnet and number plate of the car and it made off from them.

The vehicle was subsequently found abandoned off Windermere Avenue on the Hag Fold estate.

Police say it is believed the vehicle was also recently involved in a serious 'fail to stop' road traffic collision.

The car was recovered and a forensic analysis was to be undertaken to identify the driver.
