Appeal after suspected hate-motivated damage caused to car in York

Did you see any suspicious people or activity on Tatton Close in York overnight on 7 to 8 April?

We are appealing for information after a black Renault car was extensively damaged between 10pm on Monday 7 April and 9.30am on Tuesday 8 April.

We’re also appealing to any other victims of similar damage to come forward if they have not reported it to the police.
