There has been very little car crime on Rufford Street in the last year or two.  But in the last three days two cars have had glass smashed – not for theft as nothing was taken – but simply vandalism.  The nearest clue we have is that it was a couple of boys about 5 feet tall aged about 10-12, one white with blond short hair, the other of mixed ethnic origin in a blue ‘Leeds’ tracksuit.

This sounds like summer holiday recreational vandalism, rather than a return to the large scale systematic thieving of 2002/3.  If everyone could keep their eyes open that would be great and contact the police on 999 if you see a crime in progress or someone running away or by email at this address if you have a description to feed to the local neighbourhood police team.  If you have some information and are uncomfortable about passing it to the police yourself please contact me through this website in confidence.
