    The windows of 15 buses have been smashed in an attack causing £100,000 of damage in Tockwith.

    North Yorkshire Police said yesterday the incident occurred at Tockwith Airfield, on Southfield Lane between 10pm – 9am on the evening of Monday, August 21.

    Police are now appealing for witnesses and information.

    The force said in a statement:

    "We're now requesting the public’s assistance to help establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
    "In particular, we're appealing for information from anyone who witnessed anything suspicious in the surrounding area at the time of the incident and/or if anyone has any CCTV."


    The runways of the former airfield, which was previously RAF Marston Moor, are now used for driving education courses and specialist training.

    Connexions Buses, which is located on Southfield Lane in the village, told the Stray Ferret none of its vehicles were damaged in the incident.

    It also posted on Facebook "the companies that it involved have worked very hard to replace almost all of them already".

    The companies have not been named.

    Police urged anyone with information to email chloe.winter-atkinson@northyorkshire.police.uk or dial 101 and ask for Chloe Winter-Atkinson.

    If you wish to remain anonymous, you can pass information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
