Police are currently investigating an incident of criminal damage which is believed to have occurred approximately 23:55hrs on the evening of Thursday 1st May 2025. 

The incident which has been caught on CCTV camera involved a group of males who walked along Finkle Street in Richmond. Two members of the group thought it was sensible to rugby tackle plants belonging to one of the business premises along the street. This in-turn has caused damaged to electrical cabling.
