POLICE are urging motorists to be on their guard after a run of attacks on vehicles in Teignmouth at the new year.

Their call for vigilance comes after break-ins and vandalism incidents in Osmond’s Lane, West Buckeridge, Kingsway and Fraser Drive.

In one case a concrete block was used to damage the vehicle’s bonnet and windscreen. Two cars had their tyres slashed.

Anyone with information about the criminal damage and thefts should contact police on 101.
