Police are appealing for victims to come forward during an investigation into a series of criminal damage reports in Ryde on the Isle of Wight.
Windows at the Waterside Pool were damaged along with a number of cars parked on the Esplanade, Prince Street, Warwick Street, Castle Street and Appley Lane between 10pm and midnight on the evening of Friday, December 10, 2010.
Police carried out a search of the area and enquiries within the local community over the weekend.
Four people were arrested
They were a 22-year-old man and three 16-year-old boys, all from Ryde on the Isle of Wight. The four suspects were taken to Newport Police Station for questioning and later bailed until January 19, 2011 pending further enquiries.
Sergeant Steve Goodier of the Ryde Town Safer Neighbourhoods team said: “I’d like to thank all those people who have given us information so far this week. We’ve responded rapidly to make arrests of possible suspects.
“Our enquiries suggest there could be more victims who have not come forward yet. If your car was damaged while parked in Ryde during Friday night or the early hours of Saturday morning, please contact us.
“We want to work with victims so swift action can be taken against offenders who think they can get away with disrupting other people’s lives with mindless vandalism.”
