Police in Taunton are releasing CCTV images after red paint was thrown on the walls of County Hall.
The windows of the building, in The Crescent, were also smashed at around 3.30am today (29/7).
Neighbourhood Sgt Jon O’Connor said: “They are all shown carrying backpacks, wearing trousers and long-sleeved tops. We believe they are also all wearing face coverings and hats."
“We appreciate the subjects of the CCTV are not clear and shot from a distance, but we are asking members of the public to watch the footage and to contact us if they recognise any of the clothing or backpacks, or the way in which the individuals are walking.
“We know there have been similar instances in the past and we are keeping an open mind about whether these incidents are linked.
“We have provided the local authority with crime prevention advice and will continue to work with them, as the building owners, on measures to prevent incidents such as this from happening again.”
