The area was busy at the time, being the night before a bank holiday and we know that many people would have been on a night out, or working in the town.
"We continue to appeal to people working or travelling in the Audley Road area. We would particularly like to hear from anyone in the area of the Barley Mow pub or Waitrose car park. Do you remember seeing anything suspicious? Anyone who saw anything, no matter how insignificant they think it may be, please get in touch as the information could be vital."
