A force spokesman said: “Two boys wearing black hooded tops with the hoods up were spotted walking away from the vehicle towards the footpath which leads on to Jurassic Way, and officers are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen them.

“The park would have been busy at this time of day, and officers would also like to speak to anyone who may have dash-cam footage of the car travelling to or entering the park between the stated times.”
