Avon and Somerset Constabulary says it is treating the "disappointing" incident as an act of criminal damage.
PS Richard Jones said: “The vehicle was parked near Brandon Hill so officers could carry out a patrol and engage with members of the public about the new restrictions designed to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
“It is therefore hugely disappointing for them to return to find the vehicle has been mindlessly damaged causing both inconvenience and unnecessary cost.”
Anyone with information about the damage is asked to report it at www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/report, or call 101, giving the call-handler reference 5220106685.
