A POLICE vehicle was put out of action after it was deliberately damaged by a group of Greenock yobs.

Police were attending a separate incident on Larkfield Road at 8.45pm last Saturday and as they returned to their marked vehicle, a group of youths were observed allegedly vandalising it.

The vehicle's wing mirror was damaged during the incident.

The group fled, however one 13-year-old was apprehended and will be reported for the offence.
