POLICE investigating vandalism committed to 70 cars have traced a car about which they had appealed for information.
On Sunday, cars throughout the south of the island were damaged by a corrosive liquid.
On Wednesday, police said they were looking for a dark hatchback seen in Honna Road, Port Erin.
However, police inspector Mark Newey said: ‘The owner of the vehicle made contact straight away with the police and I can confirm that the person had nothing to do with the investigation.
‘Another vehicle that I need to identify is a light coloured hatchback which travelled along either the Ballachurry Road or Ballafesson Road towards the Honna Road on Sunday evening at approximately 10pm. As the vehicle approached the Surby junction on its right hand side, the vehicle then turned around in the junction and left in the same direction from which it had arrived. I would like the driver or any occupant of the vehicle or anyone else who may know who this was, to contact the police so that they can be eliminated from the inquiry.’
