Officers investigating an incident of criminal damage and assault in Poole are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
Between 12pm and 12.30pm on Monday 20 July 2020 a man aged in his 40s was driving a Mini Cooper convertible with the roof down along The Esplanade in Canford Cliffs near to the play area when a group of teenagers threw an egg at the passenger side of his vehicle.

“I would also ask any motorists who were travelling along The Esplanade around the time of the incident and have dashcam fitted to their vehicle to please check the footage for anything relevant.
