Renewed Appeal After Vehicles Damaged With Corrosive Liquid

The total cost of damage to vehicles damaged in a Market Harborough street at the weekend is likely to be in excess of £50,000, according to residents.

Around 30 cars and vans parked in Caxton Street had a corrosive substance sprayed on them late on Saturday or early on Sunday, leaving bodywork badly damaged.

Police are re-appealing for witnesses and information as they continue to investigate.

Sergeant Pete Jelbert says they continue to take what happened very seriously:

Officers are also keen to hear from anyone with CCTV or dash-cam footage from around the area that may assist with their enquiries.
