A teenage girl is being hunted after two youngsters stole a milk float, lost control and caused extensive damage by crashing it into parked cars.

It was reported two teenagers, believed to be 16 to 18 years old, stole a milk float from St Vincent’s Road at around 6.10am on July 17.

The pair are said to have lost control of the vehicle and it crashed into parked cars, causing extensive damage to several of them.

Police have only just released the information.

The suspects are a slim white woman, around 5ft 3ins tall, with dyed blonde hair and dark roots tied back, wearing a black leather jacket and blue jeans, and a slim white man with short fair hair, wearing beige shorts and trainers and carrying a bag with a long strap.

Both ran off along an alleyway in Carlisle Road, leading to Bayley Road.

Investigating officer, DC Gerry King, said: "What probably seemed like a prank to them has caused a great deal of annoyance and stress to others.
