Cars were vandalised with mauve paint last weekend.

The splattering took place between 5pm on Saturday, January 31, and 9.45am on Sunday, February 1.

PC Mark Charlton, from Hastings neighbourhood policing team, said: "The owner of one of the cars managed to clean most of the paint off, but that isn't the point."

Vehicles in Mount Road and Clive Avenue were vandalised. Anyone with information should call 101, email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting serial number 454 of 02/02 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
