Detectives are appealing for information following an attempted murder in Dumfries.
At Around 11.20pm on Saturday, 17 May, 2025, we received a report of a man being deliberately hit by a car on Criffel Road, near to Lincluden Road.
Emergency services attended and a 28-year-old man was taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary for treatment to serious injuries.
The car and its occupants had left the scene, heading towards College Road and onto Newbridge Drive.
From enquiries so far, officers have established a silver-coloured, five-door VW Golf with tinted rear windows was in the area at the time.
Detective Inspector Scott Wilson said: “Extensive enquiries are ongoing and we have been gathering CCTV footage from the surrounding area, which is being reviewed.
“Officers have also been carrying out door to door enquiries in the local area and will continue to do so.
“But I would also be very keen to speak anyone who was in the area at the time or has seen the car since then and may be able to assist our investigation.
“I would also like to hear from anyone who has dash cam, private CCTV or doorbell footage from the Lincluden area around the time of the incident.
“Any information, or footage, could prove vital, so please do pass it on to officers.”
“Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 4575 of 17 May. Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
