Two criminal damage incidents on the same house in a Weymouth street are being investigated by police.

Windows have been smashed at a property in Rylands Lane.

The first happened at around 5.30pm last Wednesday (13th March), with the occupant hearing a loud noise, and noticing a small hole in a window.

The second case happened at around 3.15pm on Friday (15th March), at the same house - with further damage caused.

A group of young people were seen running away from the scene.

Police who attended did detain and search three teenage boys.

They're due to attend a voluntary police interview after an 'imitation firearm' was seized by officers.

PC Liam Sutherland, of Weymouth police, said:

“An investigation is underway into these incidents and I am keen to hear from anyone who may have seen suspicious activity in the area around the relevant times.

“I would also like to speak to anyone who may have captured any relevant footage on home CCTV, doorbell cameras or dashcam.”

If you can help with any information, you're asked to contact Dorset Police on 101, quoting reference number 55240039301.

You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
