A car vandal was caught on camera kicking and punching a vehicle in the early hours of the morning.

The man vandalised the car shortly before 5am on New Year's Day in Church Road, Burgess Hill.

The blue Seat Ibiza had both wing mirrors smashed off in the one-minute attack.

He appears to be white, between 5' 8" and 6ft and had dark hair. He was wearing a black jacket and light coloured trousers.

The incident was recorded on a camera nearby but officers have so far been unable to identify the man involved.

PC Andy Mackay said: "We don't know who the man is or why he targeted this car in particular. "If you know who or where he is please contact us. We would also like to speak to anyone who was in Church Road on 1 January and saw or heard any part of the vandalism."

Anyone with information should email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting serial 1002 of January 1, call 101 or contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
