A manhunt for suspects has been launched after a car was reportedly vandalised with graffiti.

The vehicle was targeted by two men on Saturday evening in a residents’ car park in Station Road, Whitstable – with white paint being sprayed onto two of the vehicle’s windows.

Taking place between 7.20pm and 8pm, officers are hoping to speak to two people captured on CCTV who may be able to assist with inquiries.

It is believed to be the second time in a week the victim’s vehicle has been targetted, with officers already looking into claims of criminal damage and theft linked to the car a week earlier – on November 11.

In that instance, damage was caused to both the interior and exterior of the motor whilst car parts were stolen from the vehicle.

Officers are looking to clarify whether or not these incidents are connected and have confirmed additional patrols of the area will take place while investigations continue.

Anyone who recognises the people in the photos, or who has further information regarding either of these incidents, is asked to come forward.

Kent Police can be contacted on 01843 222289 quoting reference 46/205415/23 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555111.
