THE front door of a house in Darlington has been vandalised by having a tin of bright green paint thrown over it.

Darlington Police issued an appeal for information following the incident which occured in the town's Deneside Road, and was reported yesterday.

Officers investigating the incident released a photograph of a striped rucksack, with the words Canary Islands on, which was found covered in paint and is therefore believed to have been used by the culprits.

Anyone who recognises the bag or has any information about the incident, is asked to call Durham Constabulary on 101 with the reference DHM-13092020-0040.
