Police in Scarborough are appealing for witnesses and information about numerous incidents of criminal damage to a nursery minibus on Columbus Ravine.
It is in relation to the Little Footsteps Nursery minibus having its tyres slashed.
The incidents happened overnight between 6th November 2020 and 20th January 2021.
Officers are requesting the public’s assistance to help establish the full circumstances surrounding the incidents. In particular, they are appealing for information about any males acting suspiciously outside the nursery during this time.
The minibus that is being targeted is used by the nursery for the social and educational needs of the children who attend. The minibus being out of use hugely disadvantages the children’s learning. Police say if it goes unnoticed, damaged tyres cause an extreme risk to those onboard as well as other road users.
