Vandals slashed tyres on more than 80 cars in Rochdale.

Some of the roads where cars were targeted include: Rooley Street, Emma Street, Edenfield Road, Molyneux Street, Spotland Road, Edmund Street, Peel Street, Martin Lane, Beswick Street, Preston Street, Marlborough Street, Cinnamon Street, Woodstock Street.

Police are appealing to members of the public and businesses in the area to check their CCTV to see if those responsible were captured.

Inspector Lin Houldershaw, from Rochdale North Neighbourhood Team, said: "This was a mindless attack that has inconvenienced a lot of motorists from the area.

"We are doing all we can to catch the mindless vandals responsible - they covered quite some ground to attack all these cars so I'd ask people from businesses, and residents to think back to Thursday and Friday last week, check over CCTV if they have it, and if something is relevant to contact me."
