Devon and Cornwall Police are appealing for information after what they're describing as a 'spate of criminal damage' to a number of vehicles in Devon.
It was reported that vehicles listed for sale were being identified online, test driven and while the owner was distracted, deliberately damaged to get the vehicle at a cheaper price.
Officers say damage was caused by pouring a substance into the engine to make it appear that there was a fault.
One such incident took place in Dawlish on 3 January.
It is believed the two men pictured may be able to help officers with their enquiries.
Anybody with information should contact police on 101 or via our website quoting 50250003090.
