“It was reported that just before 5.20pm a black-coloured vehicle reversed at speed into a garden wall in the Mount Eagles Avenue area,” the PSNI’s Constable Kingsberry said today.

“The power of the collision completely destroyed the double brick wall and the vehicle made off from the scene,” he explained.

“Children were playing in the area at the time, in close proximity to the damaged wall.
