Police appeal after car runs into Sleaford MP’s office then drives off

Lincolnshire Police officers say the incident happened in the afternoon at about 4.30pm, when the possibly silver-coloured estate car, believed to be a woman, with a young girl passenger, was seen to have reversed into the bay window of Dr Caroline Johnson’s consitituency office in White Hart Mews, off Southgate.

A spokesman said: “The vehicle has caused extensive damage to the property and is highly likely to have heavy damage to the rear of the vehicle.

“The vehicle then left the scene.”

Fortunately, Dr Johnson said both she and her staff are working from home and so no-one was hurt, but said: “The landlord has had a builder out and may need to demolish and rebuild the whole window. I hope the driver comes forward as soon as possible, given the circumstances.

“It has done quite a lot of damage and quite a few pieces of car were left behind.

“It has split the window frame and cracked the brickwork both sides of the window, pushing the wall in slightly.”

She said police were seeking CCTV footage from neighbouring businesses.

She added that all equipment and any sensitive data has been removed.

If you are the driver of the vehicle, or if there are any witnesses to the collision, contact Lincolnshire Police on 101 and quote 20000668600.
