Police are appealing for information after a car was involved in two separate hit-and-run incidents in Co Antrim.

The vehicle, a blue estate-type car, clipped the front of a bus in the Ballyrobin Road area of Templepatrick at around 6.40pm on Saturday.

The car failed to stop, while the front of the bus was damaged.

At around 8.45pm the same car collided with a Skoda at the nearby Kilmakee Roundabout.

A PSNI spokesperson said: “The suspect vehicle turned around and reversed back into the Skoda twice before making off towards Templepatrick.”

“I am appealing to anyone to anyone who may have witnessed either collision or anyone with dash-cam or other footage that could assist with enquiries, to contact police on 101 quoting reference 1339 of 01/02/25.”
