A man was snapped apparently letting down a tyre of a police van yesterday afternoon - just days after the same vehicle was attacked with yoghurt.

The Hawkeye CCTV van in North Street, Ashford was splattered with the dairy snack on Saturday, by a vandal who also urinated against it and let down the tyres.

Despite the surveillance equipment on board the van, the attack was not captured on CCTV.

But yesterday, a man was pictured kneeling down beside the same van and appearing to let the tyres down.

Police confirmed 30-year-old Nathan Laurence Brown, of no fixed address, was arrested and charged with vehicle interference.

He was released on bail and will appear before Canterbury Magistrates on Monday, November 17, 2014.

Chris Martin, an engineer from Medway Tyres was sent to repair the tyre yesterday afternoon.

He said: "There's nothing sharp in the tyre or any damage so he's stuck his finger over the valve core and waited 10 minutes for it to deflate.

"Whoever he is he obviously wants to be caught because he's hanging around."
