By Rick Lyon

Humberside Police have launched an investigation into the “mindless criminal damage” of more than 30 vehicles in west Hull.

The force received multiple reports today of criminal damage being caused to cars in and around the Boulevard area of Hull overnight.

Inspector Dave Lonsdale, of Hull Central Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT), said: “From 3.50am, we have been receiving reports that in excess of 30 vehicles have had their windows smashed on a number of streets around the Boulevard, including Albemarle Street, Airlie Street and Carrington Street.

“There will be officers in the area as we conduct enquiries and provide additional reassurance patrols throughout the day and night.

“Initial enquiries have revealed that we believe that these unacceptable acts were carried out by two people on pushbikes. It is not believed that anything has been stolen from the vehicles.

“This was mindless criminal damage that can have serious implications for the owners of the vehicles affected. We will be relentless in our efforts to track down those responsible.

“As part of our enquiries, we are currently checking CCTV footage of the area and I would ask anyone who has CCTV footage of the area between 3.40am and 4am to get in touch with us.

“If anyone has information about these incidents or the people responsible, I would ask that you contact us on 101 as soon as you can, quoting log 38 of January. 25”
