Police are appealing to members of the public who have their own private CCTV cameras as they try to find further footage of a suspect who slashed the tyres of a large number of cars as part of a criminal damage spree in Trowbridge.
Police have images of a man who has been seen carrying out the damage on two cars, but are hoping private CCTV footage may help them trace his movements and provide further intelligence so they can identify him.
The damage was committed overnight between Monday December 3and Tuesday December 4 and more than 20 cars were damaged.
Officers would like to speak to anyone who has private CCTV cameras on the following roads:
York Buildings
Timbrell Street
Bellefield Crescent
Stancomb Avenue
St Thomas Road
Delamere Road
Keates Close

Fulford Road

PCSO Matthew Till, from Wiltshire West Community Policing Team, said: “We have good private CCTV footage of two cars in the Rodwell Park area of town being damaged.
“However, we know this is part of a much wider spate of criminal damage, and we really need further footage if we are going to be able to identify a suspect and trace his steps on the night in question.
“I have re-released the CCTV images as we need to hear from anyone who may recognise this man, he is wearing distinctive footwear, so please have a look at the pictures carefully.
“Many of the victims in this case are elderly people and, naturally, they are concerned that it may happened again. These crimes have had a huge impact on the local community and we are determined to get to the bottom of this and bring this person to justice.”
Anyone with information should contact the Wiltshire West Community Policing Team on 101, quoting crime reference number 54180114789. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
