Gangs of youths went on a crime spree in Falmouth on New Year's Eve.

According to a facebook post from town councillor Dave Saunby, around 15 boys and girls in their early teens were witnessed damaging numerous cars in the Kimberley Park Road and Park Rise area of the town.

His post continued: "Not content with that, they went on to the Trescobeas Doctor's Surgery, next door to the former Rosslyn Hotel, and set the alarms off. About 15 youths, boys and girls in their very early teens were seen leaving the site, and heading off down Tregenver Road." "

The alarm was heard going off for some time after 12.20am.

Police were notified and attended, but the youths had already gone.

Any information regarding these incidents, please make contact with Devon and Cornwall Police.

Mr Saunby added: "These mindless acts of vandalism must not be tolerated in our town. Happy New Year for some, but not for other who had their cars damaged."
