Two of the girls attended hospital.

Constable Kirsty MacGregor said: “We are appealing to people who may have been in the area at the time to think back and consider if they saw this incident or if they remember seeing the car.

“There are several shops in this area and it would have been busy with people. I would also ask any motorists wish dash cam devices to check their footage as it could hold images which could assist the investigation.

“Any small piece of information could prove vital in helping us locate the driver of the car.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 2310 of November 27, 2022.
