A SPATE of tyre slashing earlier this year has resurfaced in Hawshaw Lane, Hoyland.

Hoyland's Safer Neighbourhood Team said a number of car tyres were punctured with an unknown tool overnight between October 10 and 11.

An investigation is being carried out by local officers, including door-to-door enquiries and appeals for information via social media.

A spokeswoman said: "Officers wish to reassure local residents that the incidents are being taken seriously and links between this series of tyre punctures and similar incidents earlier this year are being considered."

Anyone who may have information is asked to call Barnsley South SNA on 101.
