Police have released CCTV images of two men they would like to speak to in connection with criminal damage to two cars. The cars, in Cheveley, Newmarket, and Ely, were both for sale and were viewed by prospective buyers, two men, between 7pm and 8pm on 2 July.

On both occasions, a liquid was poured into the car’s engine while the owner was distracted.

The liquid caused severe damage to the cars’ engines, allowing the men to offer a lower price, but neither was sold.
