POLICE are seeking the public’s help identifying two men following a spate of criminal damage to motor vehicles in Devon, including an incident in Dawlish.

It was reported that vehicles listed for sale were being identified online, test driven and while the owner was distracted, deliberately damaged to get the vehicle at a cheaper price, police say.

Damage was caused by pouring a substance into the engine to make it appear that there was a fault.

One such incident took place in Dawlish on January 3.

It is believed the two men pictured may be able to help officers with their enquiries.

‘Anybody with information should contact police on 101 or via our website quoting 50250003090’ a spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police said.
