A police Land Rover has been spray-painted silver by vandals.

The vehicle was targeted between 21:30 BST on Monday and 04:45 on Tuesday in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire.

Insp John Simpson said while some "might find this funny" the vehicle would "be off the road whilst it is repaired at a cost".

He added: "It is a specialist vehicle used to access the more rural areas of Calderdale and as such is an essential vehicle for the local communities."
