Detective Constable Chloe Walker, from Hart and Rushmoor CID, commented: “The senseless act of vandalising emergency service vehicles is incomprehensible and could significantly impact the public.
“This incident meant the vehicles had to be removed from service for repairs. Fortunately, the cars were fixed promptly, and we maintained our ability to respond to emergencies across the district.
“Such behaviour is unacceptable, and perpetrators will face robust action and prosecution through the courts.”
