POLICE hunting the hit-and-run driver who knocked down York schoolgirl Katie Scales have eliminated a man named in a tip-off to the Evening Press.
Officers spoke to the man following an anonymous response to the appeal on our website, www.thisisyork.co.uk
It had said the car which knocked down the 11-year-old All Saints' School pupil, from Haxby, on December 4, was at a firm in the North East.
The tip-off was passed on to investigators, but after thorough checks they found it was false.
