POLICE in Ryedale are appealing for information after vandals smashed two cars parked on the A170.

Both cars were damaged between 7pm on Saturday and 1am on Sunday.

Vandals used a rock to smash all the windows and damage the bonnet of a red Citroen Saxo, which was parked at the side of the road about one mile to the west of Helmsley heading towards Sutton Bank.

A silver Peugeot 307, parked five miles away in a lay-by at the bottom of Sutton Bank, also had all its windows broken. Anyone with information should phone the police on 101.
