Police Car and Shop Window Targeted

Police Urge Witnesses to Speak Up
PC Chris Morgan said: “As many as 18 vehicles had their windscreens put through or their wing mirrors damaged during this incident. It really should go without saying but this type of behaviour is completely unacceptable and not what we want to see in our communities at all.”
