• Crimestoppers is offering £20k reward for information

POLICE have released CCTV footage of the car used by the gunmen who shot senior detective John Caldwell at a sports complex last week.

At least 10 rounds were fired in the attack in Co Tyrone with two bullets hitting vehicles in the car park.

A reward worth up to £20,000 [€22,740] is also being offered by the independent charity Crimestoppers to anyone who has key information about those responsible.

At a press conference in Omagh yesterday, Detective Chief Supt Eamonn Corrigan appealed to anyone who had seen the car in the two weeks before the attack.

He said: "Today I am releasing CCTV footage of the car used by the gunmen.

"This is a blue Ford Fiesta, registration number MGZ 6242. It was then fitted with false plates, FRZ 8414, prior to the attack.

"Our CCTV footage shows the car leaving the sports complex and turning left on to the Killyclogher Road immediately after the shooting.

"We then know it travelled past Glendale Service Station to the Racolpa Road where they abandoned the car and set it on fire.
