A man who was arrested after crashing a car into a city business just before Christmas has had his bail extended.
Police were initially called to Pure Physiotherapy in City Road shortly after 7pm on December 23, 2023, after a grey VW Golf crashed into the building - which was later found in Cyprus Street.
A man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and dangerous driving, as well as failing to stop at the scene and failing to report an accident.

Phin Robinson, who founded Pure Physiotherapy in 2006, said he was "absolutely gutted" about the incident.
The 44-year-old said: "It's been a nightmare because someone's apparent over-indulgence and recklessness.
"I was shocked - someone could have been killed."
