2 Multiple Curtain Slashings 58 curtain sided vehicles were slashed at three separate transport firms. The offences took place overnight between Saturday November 7th and Sunday November 8th 2015 in Macclesfield. 52 lorries were damaged at a company based at Adlington Business Park, one at a company nearby on London Road and five more in Bollington. The damage is estimated to be thousands of pounds. All of them were empty, so they got nothing, so It might have just been mindless vandalism but that is unlikely. Anyone with information should contact Macclesfield police on 101 quoting incident 447-8/11 or Crimestoppers. Does your company suffer from similar incidents? Do you report it? If not why not?
