VANDALS who have blighted Harrogate with graffiti are being hunted by police.

Officers have released a number of images of the daubings in a bid to trace those responsible.

The vandals struck between December 17 and 29 in the underpass leading from Norwood Grove to the Hydro from Oakbank and on telephone exchange boxes on Euclid Avenue, Hartwith Road and Jennyfield Drive.

PCSO Michael Smith, of Harrogate Police, said: “This type of mindless vandalism is utterly pointless.”
