We are particularly keen to hear from anyone that saw three men dressed in black in or around the area of Cargenbridge or Garden Wise on Castle Douglas Road during the early hours of this morning. Likewise we would be keen to hear about any strange vehicles which might have been seen entering or leaving, or even parked up in the area.
We are also reviewing CCTV footage from cameras in the area, and any dash cam footage which anyone has while driving in the area at that time would be welcomed. Callers can contact Police Scotland on the 101 number, and should quote the reference number 0192 of 14/6.”
