The driver of the vehicle is described as black, 20 to 30 years old, and 6ft tall with an athletic build.

He was wearing a black balaclava with a single eye slit and a black-coloured thigh-length nylon coat, similar to those worn by security guards.

He was also wearing gloves and black-coloured trousers.

The passenger of the vehicle is described as white, aged 20 to 30, 6ft tall and with a slim build.

He was wearing a black balaclava, with a single eye slit and a black-coloured, thigh length nylon coat.
