POLICE have released a CCTV image in the hope of identifying a group of youths who were seen throwing rocks at a number of homes in Darlington.

The seven youths threw rocks at a house in the North Road area of Darlington with such force that they damaged a door.

The incident happened at about 6.30pm on Saturday, April 5.

PC John Forster, from Darlington Police, said: “Does anyone recognise the clothing of any of the group and know a name or even just a nickname of any of them?

“This may seem like a trivial matter but people suffering this kind of crime-related anti-social behaviour can suffer enormously.”

One of the males in the group had a red top with white stripes, one female was wearing a red top, while another girl had a puppy with her.

Anyone with information is asked to call PC Forster on the non-emergency number 101, extension 661 4450, quoting incident number DHM-05042014-0444.
