Appeal for information following nails left on Coach Road

WESTBURY Police has warned motorists that nails and screws are still being left on the road surface at Coach Road which could cause damage to vehicles.  

The police first issued a public appeal about this last year asking for more information but the incidents are ongoing.

A statement from the police says, “We are aware of more reports of nails and screws having been left along Coach Road in Westbury. We put out a public appeal for information regarding this last year but it seems this is still ongoing.

“We would like to remind people that putting sharp objects onto the road not only damages car tyres, causing unnecessary cost and stress to vehicle owners, but the objects also have the ability to injure pedestrians and animals who use that road.

“We would urge the person/s doing this to think carefully about what they are doing and to consider all road users before continuing this dangerous behaviour. Anyone with any knowledge of who may be responsible can email WarminsterAreaNPT@wiltshire.police.uk”
