Cars damaged in Port St Mary

Motorists have been urged to lock their cars after a spate of criminal damage in the south of the Island.

A number of cars parked on The Promenade in Port St Mary were targeted with black spray paint between 6pm on Tuesday and 7am on Wednesday.

Two juveniles have been arrested and bailed in connection with the matter but police still want to speak to anyone who witnessed what happened.

They say they believe the spray paint was taken from an unlocked car which was parked opposite the Commissioners' Office.

Drivers have been told to lock their vehicles to avoid giving offenders the opportunity to commit crime and save themselves an expensive repair bill.
