Police in Newcastle are hunting for two teenagers who broke into a Mercedes dealership and crashed a luxury car, causing £9,000-worth of damage.
Officers have launched an investigation after the pair were caught on CCTV illegally entering Mercedes-Benz of Newcastle on the night of June 26.
Once onsite, the vandals took it in turns to drive around the dealership’s forecourt, resulting in one of them crashing into a stationary car.
The incident caused damage to both cars to the tune of £9,000 and the pair were then seen scarpering away from the scene.
After reviewing the footage and speaking to staff at the Styner dealership, Northumbria Police have now issued descriptions of the two males, in the hope of identifying them.
The first is described as a ‘white male, of skinny build, who is believed to be around 15 years old and was wearing a black tracksuit, grey trainers, green t-shirt and a black jacket with a furred hood’.
The second, also a white male, was described as being around ’15 or 16 years of age’ with ‘medium length black curly hair’. He was wearing a black tracksuit and hoodie with red detailing and black trainers.
