The incident happened around 10pm.As soon on the footage of the CCTV, the four men first came in a blue Nissan March before they left but returned in a black Golf 4.After arriving in the Golf they sat inside the vehicle for about five minutes before police officers, in a vehicle, parked behind them shot the left rear tyre.
