DC Leah Roberts has appealed for any witnesses to come forward.

She said: "The incident took place in a busy location, and we believe a lot of people would still be in the area, having watched a World Cup match earlier, which was televised on a big screen."

Anyone who has information about the incident should call the police on 01843 222289, quoting the reference number ZY/40363/18, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
