DORCHESTER Police have renewed an appeal for information as they continue to investigate criminal damage that was caused to a mobility scooter in the town.

The incident occurred at the junction of Damers Road and Blagdon Road between Monday, 29 July and Wednesday, 31 July

The victim – a local man aged in his 70s – left his scooter in the area as it had broken down.

When he returned to collect it, the scooter had been damaged beyond repair.
