TAXI bosses are appealing for witnesses to a weekend paint attack on one of their cabs.
Black paint was sprayed over the white Rover belonging to Wear Cabs, of Willington, in a car park off Kingsway, Bishop Auckland, on Sunday afternoon.
The driver was shopping with his wife and children when the attack took place.
Ann Brunskill, who runs the company with her husband, David, said: "There were some horrible words sprayed on the car and the children were old enough to recognise them. They were distressed because they couldnot understand why anybody could do something like that."
Mrs Brunskill appealed to anyone who was in the area between noon and 2pm on Sunday to contact PC Julie Lamb at Crook police station, telephone (01388) 762011 or Wear Cabs on (01388) 745301
