POLICE are investigating after a criminal used a large rock to cause extensive damage to a parked car on the A65 near Crooklands.

An unknown person has used a stone from a nearby wall to put a large dent in the roof of the brand new Seat Ibiza between 12.35pm and 5pm on Monday, August 31.

They then smashed the driver's side window and stole a sat nav from the car, which was parked unattended in a lay-by near the Canal Garage.
