South Wales Police are offering a £1000 reward for information about several incidents which saw three speed cameras cut down in the Swansea area.
Police are currently investigating several incidents which saw three speed cameras cut down in Treboeth, Clydach and Pontardawe.
It comes after video footage emerged earlier this month showing two hooded individuals using an angle grinder to cut down a speed camera outside the Kings Head pub on Llangyfelach Road in Treboeth, Swansea.
The video (which can be seen below) shows the two people cutting through the speed camera pole before it eventually falls to the ground.
