CRIMINALS stuck screws into the tyres of carers' cars while the owners helped an elderly client.

Police are appealing for witnesses after the criminal damage in Binghams Road, Crossways, on Wednesday, July 26 and Thursday, July 27.

The owner of a care company had reported damage to three of his employee's cars.

Screws had been put in the side wall of the tyres, with two vehicles damaged on July 26 and the third car targeted the day after. 

This occurred outside a property in Binghams Road, while the staff were supporting an elderly client.

The business owner spoke to other neighbours in the area and some reported they had also experienced damage to their car tyres, which has not been reported to the police.
