OFFICERS are investigating a report of criminal damage to a marked police car in Aberthaw Road, Newport, at around 3.10pm on Wednesday 30 October.
An unknown person is believed to have thrown a brick at a marked police car, which was parked in the police station car park in Alway.
No officers were in the car at the time and no injuries were reported, but damage was caused to the door of the parked car.
Officers would like to speak to this person (pictured), who was in the area around the time of the damage.
The person was riding an orange off-road bike while wearing a mask and a dark coloured North Face coat.
Superintendent Jason White said: “A marked police car is not just something that our officers use to attend emergencies, it is a resource which helps us keep our communities safe.
“These mindless acts of anti-social behaviour have a direct impact on our ability to respond to crime as all our vehicles that are damaged need to be repaired.
“As a public resource, it is the taxpayer sadly who will have to assist with repairs linked to this report of criminal damage.”
