Paint poured over cars in Sherborne

Police in Dorset are appealing for witnesses after five cars had paint poured over them.

The incident took place sometime between 5pm on Saturday and 8.30am on Sunday at Newlands North Car Park in Sherborne.

This thoughtless crime has caused serious damage to a number of vehicles while they were securely parked.

These actions have not only caused an obvious inconvenience to the car owners butgreat expense as well.

The paint has also damaged the tarmac in the car park and this will need repairing.

I am appealing to anyone who witnessed this incident or may have information aboutthose involved to contact police in confidence.

– Police Constable Simon Lancey, Sherborne police
