Police Appeal on Car Windscreen Damage
Nov 18th, 2009 | By Duncan Smith | Isle of Wight News From The Island PulseIsle of Wight Police investigate criminal damage to vehicles in Carisbrooke.
Police are appealing for information after reports of criminal damage to vehicles parked in the Carisbrooke area of Newport.
Officers are investigating after six windscreens were broken during the early hours of Sunday, November 15, 2009.
Four of the vehicles were parked in Kinchington Road, one in Nightingale Road, and one in Wilver Road.
PC Steve Quelch of the Newport South Safer Neighbourhoods team said:
“Nothing was stolen from inside these vehicles, and there is no evidence to suggest any attempts were made to steal them, but we are linking all these reports because it is unusual for a sudden series of criminal damage to occur in Carisbrooke. Police are carrying out forensic and house-to-house enquiries, and I’m appealing to anyone who may have seen or heard people acting suspiciously in Carisbrooke or Gunville during the early hours of Sunday morning to contact the police.”
