Suspected assault and criminal damage

The van was parked outside a nightclub while the owner was inside until around 2am. The van owner reported that he returned to the vehicle at around 2.30am to find extensive damage to the door panels and wing mirrors.

Two males, friends of the van owner, also claim to have been assaulted during the incident. The men attended hospital for treatment but their injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
