That includes any information relating to the man pictured, who police want to speak to as part of their ongoing inquiries.

PCSO David Keightley, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We are in the process of investigating this criminal damage, which has resulted in considerable financial costs.

“This type of antisocial behaviour is completely unacceptable and has a negative impact on residents who live in the area.

“Our belief is the man pictured will have information relating to this incident which could assist our ongoing inquiries.

“We therefore want to speak to him immediately, so would ask him to make himself known to us, or for anyone who recognises him to get in touch too.”

Information can be reported directly to the police on 101, quoting incident 129 of 6 April 2026, while Crimestoppers can be called anonymously as well on 0800 555 111.
