North Yorkshire Police are appealing for information about criminal damage that was caused over the weekend in Copt Hewick, near Ripon.

It happened between 8pm on Friday, December 5 and 8.30am on Saturday, December 6, on Back Lane, and involved all four tyres of a Blue Skodia Fabia being slashed.

In an appeal posted on Facebook, the force said:

We’re particularly appealing for information about anyone acting suspiciously in the area at the time, or any CCTV, dashcam or doorbell camera footage which may have captured something.

Anyone who can help should email Lindsay.Sturdy@northyorkshire.police.uk, or call North Yorkshire Police on 101 and ask for Lindsay Sturdy, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously via its website or by calling 0800 555 111.

The reference 12250229298 should be quoted when passing on information.
