Police are appealing for information after a hit and run incident in Heaton Moor on Tuesday 10 September.

The incident took place on Whitelow Road, around 4.30pm.

Police enquiries suggest that three teenage schoolgirls were walking along the pavement, when a car - a silver VW Golf - which was travelling at speed behind them, swerved onto the pavement to avoid an oncoming car.

After the VW collided with the girls, it drove away from the scene, leaving all three pedestrians injured by the road.

The three girls were taken to hospital with serious leg injuries, which required surgery.

Sergeant Paul Lunt said: "The victims were just walking on the pavement when a car mounted the pavement and collided with them causing them serious injuries before driving off, leaving the girls injured by the road.

"There were a number of people at the scene either walking past on Whitelow Road and we would like to speak to anyone who witnessed this incident, or who may have dash cam footage, CCTV or ring doorbell footage showing a Silver VW Golf car driving in the area between 4:15-4:45pm. 

"After the collision, the VW Golf had a smashed windscreen, so should be quite distincitve. 

"Anyone with information or footage is asked to contact police on 101, quoting log number 2249 of 10/09/24. You can also use our Live Chat service on the GMP website.

"Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
