Car vandals hunted by police

Thursday, 25 May 2017 00:00

Police say a young child was left terrified after a vandalism attack on a car which left it severely damaged.

The incident happened at around 4.30am this morning in Hillberry Lakes in Douglas - those responsible smashed nearside windows and let down the car's front nearside tyre.

Officers say the owners have been left facing a hefty repair bill - and their young daughter was extremely upset by the noise.

They're now appealing for witnesses to come forward - particularly the driver of a small white van seen in the area a short time later.

If you have any information, you're being asked to contact Police Headquarters.
