Police in Wilmslow are appealing for information after a window at the Police Station was damaged. 

At 7.30pm on Wednesday 18 December, an unknown man approached Wilmslow Police Station on Hawthorn Street.

The man then proceeded to aggressively hit the window, resulting in it cracking.

Officers exited the building to confront the man, who was seen hurling abuse at them from a distance. He then fled across a nearby car park. 

A search of the area was conducted, but the man could not be found. However, officers did also find that a security gate into the station itself has also been damaged.

The man was described as being white, wearing a light grey Berghaus jacket and dark blue jogging bottoms.

Officers are now appealing to anyone who may have been in the area at around the time of the incident, or captured the man in question on any CCTV or dash cams, to get in touch.

Inspector Nick Rogers, of Macclesfield Local Policing Unit, said: "Deliberately targeting and damaging our police buildings and hurling threatening abuse at our officers and staff is totally unacceptable and something that we as a force will not stand for.

"A number of enquiries are already underway to identify this individual, which is why we are now appealing to anyone who may have witnessed this incident, or saw anything that did not look right near to the station at around 7.30pm on Wednesday 18 December, to please get in touch. The same goes for anyone with any CCTV or dash cam footage that could help us in our investigation.

"Information or video footage that may help the ongoing investigation should contact Cheshire Police on 101, or via the website at https://www.cheshire.police.uk/tell-us  quoting IML-1987685."

Information can also be reported anonymously, via Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.
