Appeal After Nursery Minibus in Scarborough Repeatedly Attacked

Police in Scarborough are appealing for witnesses and information about numerous incidents of criminal damage to a nursery minibus on Columbus Ravine.

Information is being sought in relation to these incidents which include the Little Footsteps Nursery minibus having its tyres slashed.

The incidents have happened overnight between 6 November 2020 and 20 January 2021.

Officers say they are requesting the public’s assistance to help establish the full circumstances surrounding the incidents. In particular, they are appealing for information about any males acting suspiciously outside the nursery during this time.

The minibus that is being targeted is used by the nursery for the social and educational needs of the children who attend. The minibus being out of use hugely disadvantages the children’s learning. If it goes unnoticed, damaged tyres cause an extreme risk to those onboard as well as other road users.

Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2, and ask for Kirsty Masters. You can also email kirsty.masters@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk.

If you wish to remain anonymous, you can pass information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Please quote the North Yorkshire Police reference number 12210031983.
