Police are appealing for information after a car drove into a property on Duck Hill in Ripon.

The collision happened between 4am and 4.15am on Wednesday, December 30, when a blue BMW collided with a commercial property and failed to stop.

A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police said:

"The collision caused structural damage to the business and as a result it has had to close pending building works. The vehicle failed to stop and it is believed that it was being driven by a man with another man in the passenger seat at the time of the collision."

Anyone who witnessed the collision or remembers seeing the car prior to the collision is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police as soon as possible to help with the investigation.

Call the force on 101, select option two and ask for Alastair Graham-Merrett, or email alastair.graham-merrett@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk, quoting North Yorkshire Police reference number 12200247651.
