Appeal for witnesses following three criminal damage incidents in Tandridge

Surrey Police is appealing for information following three separate incidents of criminal damage in Bletchingley, Oxted and Lingfield.

The first offence occurred between 3pm on Monday, 8 February and 10.25am on Tuesday, 9 February in Tanhouse Road, Oxted. A Peugeot Boxer motor home had a rear window damaged costing approximately £270 worth of damage, whilst parked on the owners driveway.

The second offence occurred between 5pm, Monday, 8 February, and 8am on Tuesday 9 February at Bletchingley Community Centre when a side door glass panel was smashed, causing approximately £150 of damage.

The third incident caused damage to a bus' windows when it was stationary at Station Road, Lingfield on Monday, 15 February. At approximately 6pm, a stone was thrown at force at the bus’ rear windows causing approximately £800 of damage..

In all the incidents an object appears to have been thrown with force or catapulted at the property or vehicle.

Community Safety Sergeant, Dan Gutierrez said: "Although these are three separate acts of vandalism, they all occurred within a few days of each other and they all have similarities to the damage that was caused.

"Smashing windows and damaging vehicles is reckless and irresponsible and we will not tolerate that kind of behaviour. The local Neighbourhood team has increased patrols in the areas concerned.

"I would like to hear from anyone that was in the area and saw anyone acting suspiciously possibly on foot or in a car to come forward with any information they may have.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Surrey Police on 0845 125 2222 quoting reference number TD/10/759 or call Crimestoppers if you wish to remain anonymous on 0800 555 111.
