While members of the public, police and ambulance service gathered for Clap for Carers last night (Thursday), three vehicles belonging to NHS staff at Gilbert Hitchcock House on Kimbolton Road had their tyres slashed.
Bedfordshire Police are appealing to witnesses to the incident.
It is believed it happened a short time before 8pm on Thursday (14 May), just before the weekly Clap for Carers.
Dave Heaslip from the force’s Crime Bureau said: “We are disappointed that this happened whilst people were giving thanks to NHS staff, and we will never tolerate criminal damage in Bedfordshire.
“This incident caused delays to the onward travel of staff who are working tirelessly to save lives during COVID-19, and we would urge the public to come forward if they saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area at the time.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting reference number 40/26139/20
