Warwickshire Police is investigating after 41 cars were vandalised in the Overslade area of Rugby in the early hours of Sunday morning (3/8).

Between 12am and 2am the cars, which were parked in Saunton Road, Westbourne Grove and Wentworth Road, had their windows smashed and were spray painted with green paint.

'This incident has understandably caused a lot of anguish in the local community'

Chief Inspector Angus Eagles, policing commander for the Rugby area, said: “This incident has understandably caused a lot of anguish in the local community, and we have launched a thorough investigation to identify those responsible and bring them to justice.

“One of the people we would like to speak to was wearing a distinctive top which we believe to be the Off White brand. There’s an image of the top below, I appreciate it’s not the best, but we’re hoping someone can help us identify the owner. Our CCTV enquiries are ongoing.

“We're continuing our enquiries and appeal for anyone with CCTV, dash cam or doorbell footage from the area around the time of the incident to get in touch with us.”
