POLICE INVESTIGATE AFTER CAR STRUCK BY BOTTLE IN A75 INCIDENT

POLICE Officers in Castle Douglas are seeking the help of the public to trace the occupants of a black coloured Kia style jeep following an incident on the A75 road near to the Ram Hill, Castle Douglas, at around 5.20pm on Monday 7 May 2018.
