She is of average build and height, and had dark hair tied back into a ponytail.

Chief Superintendent Dave Kirby said: “Alana was just 25 – and a mum to a six-year-old boy.

“Her little boy, along with her wider family, will never get the chance to see her again, hug her again, spend Christmas together or celebrate all those milestones.

“My thoughts, as well as those of the whole force and community, are with them at this time.”

He added: “As an officer, as a member of the local community, and as a father, I am devastated for her little boy, her family, and her friends and we will do all we can to find those responsible.”

Kirby said that the force knows that there were two people inside the Land Rover, and that they have “already received a significant amount of information from the public”.

However, stressed that anyone who has information about a dark coloured Land Rover Discovery, believed to be manufactured between 2004 and 2009, should come forward.

Two people, a man and a woman both in their 30s, were arrested in connection with the incident. They have since been released without charge.
