Dear Resident,

Officers are asking residents to check CCTV, doorbell and dashcam footage after a number of cars had their tyres slashed in Hatfield.

Police received reports of seven vehicles targeted in Wellfield Road, Ely Close and the town centre on Monday night (5 October) into Tuesday (6 October).

Enquiries are being carried out into the incident and officers are keen to hear from anyone who might have CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage in the area.

Chief Inspector Chris Rutter said: “This has had a huge impact on the victims and we are carrying out extensive enquiries to find the person(s) responsible. If you live or work in the area and have CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage, please take a look to see if there is anything captured that might help us.
