A police spokesman said: "In these current times of Covid-19, what were these youths thinking gathering in such a small space?

"What were they thinking damaging a police vehicle, which will now be off the road for several weeks at a time when we need it the most?

"Do you know where your kids were on Friday evening?

"Anyone with information regarding the damage to the police car, please contact Burnley neighbourhood policing team on [email protected] alternatively you can contact 101 quoting reference LC-20200605-1467."
