A NUMBER of cars have been vandalised in East Grove Road and St Leonard's Road.
PCSO Nic Unsworth, part of the neighbourhood policing team, told Community News that the cars were scratched between 8pm on Friday June 27 and 11am on Saturday June 28.
He said: "I have seen cars which have been keyed before and that is usually when someone has taken a bunch of keys and scratched the paintwork so that it leaves several marks like fingernails.
"This is a single straight line so that it looks as if it could have been done by a diamond ring.
"It is totally malicious.
"We would like to hear from anyone who saw anything and also from other car owners who have suffered similar damage as we want to know if the damage started further afield.
"If you think you may be able to help in any way in our investigation of this incident which may lead to the identification of an offender please phone 101 quoting reference number CR/85375/14."
