POLICE are keen to track down the owner of what appears to have been an abandoned car in Purton.

Royal Wootton Bassett and Cricklade Neighbourhood Police Team appealed for information after being alerted about the dark grey Renault Clio left in the village hall car park.

It has now been removed. 

The 1.6cc 16-valve model does not have a registration plate attached to it and appears to have sustained damage to the front nearside wheel.

"Thank you to a number of local Purton residents for approaching us and giving us information," said police.

"Enquiries are continuing into any possible offences."

Anyone with any information should call 101.
