Police are appealing for witnesses to an incident in which a man drove a car into a garden hedge in Chale, Isle of Wight.
Overnight on Monday, November 7, a dark coloured estate car was seen to swerve and collide with a large section of hedge outside a cottage on Appleford Road.
As a result of the collision, an ornamental well in the cottage garden was damaged.
A passing tractor driver helped the driver of the car to remove the vehicle from the hedge, but the man then drove off from the scene without leaving any details.
