Police have arrested two youths and seized seven vehicles after a number of marked Police vehicles were damaged in the Bradford East area of the City.
In recent weeks a number of Police vehicles have been targeted with bricks being thrown at them.
Officers from the Neighbourhood Policing team have today (30 June) arrested a 16-year-old male and 17 year old male on suspicion of criminal damage. They remain in
Police custody at this time.
Enquiries are ongoing.
Superintendent Richard Padwell of Bradford District Police said:
“Every Police vehicle that is off the road means one fewer unit is available to respond to emergency calls.
“It’s sheer luck that no officers were hurt during any of these incidents.
“I hope today’s action sends a clear message that causing criminal damage is completely unacceptable and we will take positive action.”
Anyone with information about Police vehicles being damaged is asked to contact Bradford East NPT via 101 or use the live chat facility at www.westyorkshire.police.uk/contactus quoting crime reference 13230351143
