Thirty cars damaged in vandalism spree

Around thirty cars have been damaged after vandals went on a spree in a Mead Lane car park earlier in the month.

Police were called at around 7am on Sunday 5th May by a member of the public reporting that around 30 vehicles had been targeted while parked in a car park in Mead Lane. It is believed the damage had been caused overnight.

One of the vehicles had its windscreen smashed, while several others had mirrors or windscreen wipers damaged.

Detective Constable Charlotte Slaney, from the East Herts Local Crime Unit, said: "This senseless behaviour has left a number of people with hefty repair bills, which they are understandably very upset about.

"I am appealing for anyone with information about the damage to please come forward. Did you see or hear anything suspicious in the area? Any information could assist our enquiries.”

Anyone with information should contact DC Slaney by emailing or by calling the non-emergency number 101, quoting crime number 41/40384/19.
