Appeal after house targeted, Hartlepool.
Main article content
Officers in Hartlepool are appealing for information after a house in Chatham Road was targeted twice this month, for unknown reasons.
The first occurred on Tuesday 3rd December at 22.28pm when an unknown male approached the address and tried several times to smash a window before running away towards Jesmond Gardens. He was wearing black bottoms, black trainers and a black hoodie, with the hood up.
The second incident was on Saturday, (14th December) when the same male threw a brick at the window which smashed this time. He was wearing grey jogging bottoms, a dark coat and white trainers.
Police are investigating these apparently targeted but unprovoked attacks on the property and we would appeal for anyone with information or their own doorbell, dashcam or private CCTV footage to get in touch.
We believe a group of people near the Premier Shop may have seen the suspect run towards them on the most recent occasion on Saturday, and we’d urge them to get in touch if they believe they can help.
Please contact Cleveland Police on the 101 number quoting ref 236124.
