Do you recognise these people?
We are appealing for witnesses and to identify two people we would like to speak to, after we received a report that a car was damaged in Waterlooville.
On Monday 25 November, between 4:00pm and 4:30pm, two men were reported to have attended an address on Jessica Close claiming to be interested in buying a car from an Ebay seller.
Whilst the seller was getting the service book from the house, the men were reportedly seen to tamper with the car.
They then tried to buy the car for a lesser price, claiming it was broken.
The seller declined and later found that parts of the car had been removed from under the bonnet.
Officers have been carrying out a number of enquiries, and are now releasing images and a description of two men we would like to speak to as part of our investigation.
The men have been described as follows:
Man 1:
Man 2:
If you know their identity, saw anything suspicious in the area at the time, or have any dashcam or doorbell camera footage which could aid our investigation, please contact us.
You can do this by calling 101, or by reporting online via the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary website, quoting incident number 44240514333.
