Detective Constable Rich Stanley, from Force CID, said:

"Two families have had their Christmas day ruined by the attack, but we’re working hard to find out what happened and who is responsible."

Furthermore, to hasten up the search for evidence, CCTV footage from the area is also being reviewed, witnesses are being spoken to and house-to-house inquiries conducted.

The Police department went further to leave a number for anyone with any information which may aid the Detective in Charge of the case, Constable Stanley, saying such person should not hesitate to call him on the number which made available to members of the public.

For persons scared to declare their identity, the department also left certain numbers for anonymous passage of helpful information.
