POLICE have released CCTV footage in a bid to help them identify three people after a car was damaged in Kinson.

Two tyres were slashed during the incident at the Fernheath Adventure Playground in Verney Road at 9pm on Monday, May 6.

The owner of a green Mitsubishi Delica, which was parked outside the playground, returned to the vehicle to find two of its tyres had been slashed.
