Suspicious Man Attempts To Enter Woman's Car

A 'suspicious' man has tried to get into a woman's vehicle while she sat at traffic lights on a rural road in Midlothian, police have said.

The incident happened at approximately 1:45am on the B704 near Dalhousie Castle on 23 July.

The man was unable to get into the car, which drove off south towards Gorebridge.

He is described as being white and in his 30's with heavy stubble, wearing a shiny dark waterproof style jacket with the hood up and white trainers.

Insp John Dryden said: "We do not know why he was attempting to gain entry to the car and are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen him in the vicinity beforehand or afterwards."
