“At this stage we are unsure when the incident took place but it was at some time during the night; the police were called shortly after 8am this morning.
“We want to hear from anyone who was in the town last night or during the early hours of this morning and may have noticed anything suspicious.
“If you have any information which could assist our enquiries, then please get in touch.”
