POLICE are appealling for witnesses to an incident in which £1,500 of damage was caused to shop windows in the centre of town during the weekend.

It is thought the two ten feet by eight feet front windows at M & C Upholstery, in Albert Road, were damaged during the night on either Saturday or Sunday night but the damage was not discovered until Monday morning.

Police believe someone shot an air rifle at the windows putting a hole through each pain of glass, but nothing was stolen.

If anyone has any information about the incident they should contact Colne CID on 01282 472644.
