POLICE are appealing for witnesses following a number of tyre slashings in Abingdon.

Six vehicles had their tyres damaged in East and West St Helen Street and St Helen's Wharf overnight on Sunday.

PC Maria Morrisey, Criminal Damage Co-ordinator for the Vale, said: "This is mindless and dangerous vandalism. If someone drives off, unaware of the damage, it could cause a serious collision.

"If you saw anything or know who is responsible then please contact me. "
