At least 25 cars damaged in overnight vandalism attacks
Police are investigating following a wave of car vandalisms across North Edinburgh. A series of incidents occurred overnight between Sunday and Monday and took place across the area -incidents were reported in Granton, Boswall, Trinity and Hawthornvale.
The targeted cars all appear to have had their windows either smashed or attempted to be smashed. Around twenty-five incidents have been reported to police, but more may have been attacked.
Due to number of incidents and the scale of the damage, officers are treating the incidents as linked and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Inspector Shane McKenna of Drylaw Police Station said, “This is an appalling number of vandalisms and the sheer scale of the damage caused is completely unacceptable.
“Not only has a lot of damage and inconvenience been caused to large number of people, it has also caused a number of police resources in the North of Edinburgh to be diverted in order to investigate.
“We are eager to trace those responsible as soon as possible. We would ask that anyone who was in the North Edinburgh area on the evening of Sunday, November 13th, and saw this damage take place, to get in touch with us at their earliest convenience.”
