A GARDEN wall in Easingwold was badly damaged when a car crashed into it.

North Yorkshire Police said officers went to Crab Mill Lane at about 7.15pm last Sunday, finding the vehicle had left the scene without stopping.

“However, officers have since recovered the suspect vehicle which had been abandoned in Strensall near York,” said a spokeswoman. “Investigations are ongoing to locate the driver of the car,” she said, adding that no arrests had yet been made.

Witnesses should call police on 101.
