“I am appealing to anyone who saw or heard any suspicious activity in the area during the relevant time period to please come forward.

“Also, if you own a ring doorbell or CCTV camera and live in the vicinity, please can you check your footage for anything that may assist my enquiries.

“I am keen to speak with anyone who had their vehicle damaged and has not already spoken to officers.
