A vacuum cleaner was used to damage a home in Ryedale.
We reported on Monday how windows in a home in Thornton-le-Dale near Pickering were badly damaged.
Since then damage to another property in the village has come to light. A window was smashed on Tuesday, 5 May at around 5pm.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Enquiries lead us to believe the window was smashed with an upright vacuum cleaner.
“Given this unusual choice of implement we are appealing to the public to see if they recall any persons seen carrying a vacuum down Maltongate around the time the damage occurred.
“Do you have CCTV or ring doorbell cameras that may have captured this unusual sight?
“Are you missing a vacuum cleaner from a skip or bin for example?”
