Police are appealing for witnesses after a speed camera on the A34 at Yarlet Bank, Stone, was damaged four times in just five days.

police on 0300 123 4455, quoting reference 09 of 16 February.
The damaged camera is on the southbound A34, just before the turning for Yarlet School. I drove past the speed camera this morning and it looked like it had been set alight.

Hi, the camera is now facing back up the bank to yarlet school. There is ash and tyres on the ground and the back of the camera is pitch black.

Hi the camera that has been attacked has been turned around facing down the bank for a few days, this is probably due to the incedent we will update if there is anything else happening to it. bye.
