Do you have footage of hammer attack on cars at Broom?

The suspect — described as a young, white man wearing a black coat — may have used a hammer, officers believe.

It is also thought the man was walking a small dark-coloured dog, possibly a terrier type, at the same time.

South Yorkshire Police said numerous calls had been received from residents on Broom Valley Road and Broomfield Grove between 7pm and 8pm on December 7.

A spokesperson said: “Officers are keen to hear from anyone living in that local area who may have CCTV or video doorbell footage of any individual matching this description. 

“Did you see this man? Did you see where he went?
