An ambulance vehicle belonging to Bransgore Community First Responders has been repaired after the wing mirror was vandalised POLICE enquiries are still ongoing after 13 vehicles were damaged in Bransgore, including a first responder ambulance car.

A spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary said: All initial lines of enquiry, including house-to-house visits, have taken place and police enquiries are ongoing at this moment in time to identify those responsible.
