Police are appealing for witnesses as an investigation into reports of criminal damage to parked cars continues in Freshwater on the Isle of Wight.
Officers were called shortly after midnight on the morning of Sunday, September 19, 2010 to an area known locally as the chalk pit near Farringford Farm.
Upon arrival, police spoke with a group of approximately 20 teenagers and young men who appeared to have been drinking.
Further reports of damage
Police later received a separate call to a nearby road named ‘Middleton’ where there were allegations about a group of people trying to damage car wing mirrors. This group is alleged to have walked away in the direction of Summers Lane.
Police were also called to Tennyson Road where there were further unconfirmed reports of teenagers kicking wing mirrors off vehicles.
Damage to windows and cars in Avenue Road was also reported to police.
Police are appealing for witnesses who may have noticed anyone acting suspiciously near parked cars in the Freshwater area late on Saturday night (September 18) or early on Sunday morning (September 19).
