Suspect identified in connection with criminal damage – Tring

A suspect has been identified in connection with a spate of criminal damage that occurred in Tring last weekend.

The three incidents happened overnight between Saturday 30 September and Sunday 1 October.

The second was also in Park Road, where a Peugeot had its passenger-side wingmirror smashed. (41/78374/23)

The third was on the High Street, where a shoe repair shop had its front door smashed. (41/78486/23)

Sergeant James Watson, who leads the Berkhamsted & Tring Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “These incidents have caused great inconvenience to the victims, who thanks to the mindless actions of others must now go to the trouble of arranging repairs. We’re now pleased to share that we have identified a suspect as part of our enquiries and the investigation is progressing.

“We are aware the incidents have been discussed on local social media pages and would like to reassure the community that we are doing all we can to investigate. We’re keen to hear from anyone who believes they may have information – or doorbell camera/CCTV footage – that may assist our investigation.”
