Police appeal for witnesses of masked men smashing vehicle in Cheltenham

Police in Cheltenham are appealing for witnesses after a report that a group of masked men with baseball bats smashed a vehicle.

On Tuesday 28 February, at around 4.20pm, two 4X4s were seen driving up and down Tobyfield Road in Bishop's Cleeve.

The vehicles, one black and one gold, were reported as repeatedly ramming into another vehicle before driving onto a member of the public’s property.

A group of men, a number of them in each car, then exited the vehicles and used bats and catapults with ball-bearings to smash a silver car, before driving off.
