The tyres of a police vehicle have been let down whilst officers were attending an incident in Telford this afternoon.

Officers noticed the tyres had been deflated when they returned to the vehicle which was parked on The Common in Donnington.

West Mercia Police said the incident of vandalism stopped officers from attending their next call out which involved a drink driver.

Much as someone probably found it very amusing to let down the tyres on our vehicle whilst officers were attending an incident in Donnington, this now means it is off the road, unable to respond to incidents and potentially facing an unnecessary repair bill at taxpayers expense.
