THREE teenagers who went on a “mindless” Boxing Day vandalism spree are being hunted by police.

Officers are appealing for witnesses after a total of nine incidents took place in Blandford some time after 11.30pm on Thursday, December 26.

Windows were smashed at properties in Bryanston Street, Windmill Street, The Close and Charles Street.

The wing mirrors on a car parked in Parklands were damaged and a garden gate was knocked off at an address in Dorset Street.

PC Rob Hammond, of Blandford Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “These mindless acts of criminal damage have caused the owners great inconvenience and expense.

“We believe this crime spree was committed by three teenagers, aged between 15 and 19. One of the offenders was wearing a red hat.

“I am appealing to anyone who may have information about any of these incidents, or may have seen someone acting suspiciously in these areas to call police in confidence.”

Witnesses and anyone with information should call Dorset Police in confidence on 101, quoting crime number C:13:D:54025.
