Investigations to find the offender responsible for a crunch which wrote off a devastated carer's dream car are continuing.

Support worker Kim Melanie left her home in Northfields near Eaton Park on the morning of February 26 to find her pride and joy – a black Fiat 500 – had been written off in a hit-and-run incident.

A spokeswoman from Norfolk Police said that enquiries are ongoing to try and crack the case.

Ms Melanie, 54, said she’d worked overtime for more than 18 months to fulfil her dream of having her own car.
