Window smashed in Scarborough

Scarborough police are appealing for vital witness to come forward following an act of criminal damage in the town.

It occurred around 4pm on Monday 22 October 2012, at a house on Quarry Mount when a stone was thrown through the property's front window. The damage caused is valued at around £400.

Shortly before the damage occurred a supermarket delivery van had dropped an order off at the premises.

A group of youths was seen in the area. They are all male, aged in their late teens. One of the group was wearing a white top with a pale blue stripe down the sleeve and blue jeans.  Following the incident they headed towards Milton Avenue.

PC John Fawcett, of Scarborough Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: "I am appealing to the driver of the supermarket delivery driver to come forward as they may be able to help identify those responsible for this act of vandalism. I ask that they contact the police or Crimestoppers as soon as possible.

"I would also like to speak to anyone else who can help to help with this enquiry and ask them to get in touch."

Anyone who can help the police with their enquiries is asked to contact  on 101, press option 2 and ask for John Fawcett. Alternatively information can be emailed to john.fawcett@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk.
