Police are seeking to identify two people following multiple reports of tyres being deflated in Brighton & Hove.
The pair were seen entering Bernard Road from Hartington Road at around 3.40am on Tuesday (March 15) – several cars had their tyres deflated in the area around that time.
Fifty-four reports of vehicles having had their tyres deflated have been received – most of them occurred overnight on the weekend of March 7/8.
Inspector Nicky Stuart, of Brighton and Hove’s Neighbourhood Policing Team, said:
“We understand the impact these crimes are having on the community and I would like to reassure the public that our officers are working round the clock to catch those responsible.
“This type of behaviour will absolutely not be tolerated in Brighton and Hove, and while we have seen a marked drop in the number of incidents since the weekend of March 7/8, any such occurrences are unacceptable.
“We are exploring several lines of enquiry, but as always the public are our eyes and ears. If you see anything suspicious, recognise either of these two individuals or have any information that could help, contact police online or by calling 101, quoting Operation Extinguisher.”
