Police are appealing for witnesses following vandalism to several cars in Musselburgh which took place around 5.40 a.m. this morning within the New Street area.
A group of three male youths were walking running on Eskside West towards Bridge Street when they began to damage numerous cars that were parked in the street.
In total 16 vehicles were targeted and local officers are now actively trying to trace the youths responsible.
One of the suspects is described as white and wearing a light grey hooded top with the hood up, however at this time there is no description of the other males.
Inspector Jim Gray said: “This was a needless act of vandalism, which has resulted in a significant number of vehicles sustaining damage, mainly to their wing mirrors.
“I would ask that anyone who can help us trace those responsible to contact police immediately.”
Those with information can contact Police Scotland on 101 or alternatively, the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
