Yobs wreck forecourt cars

Vandals have scratched and dented more than 20 cars at a dealership in Shrewsbury town centre in a spate of attacks over four nights.

Manager Robert Thomas said thugs had been damaging the cars on the front of Tim Brookshaw, Featherbed Lane, since Thursday night.

He said the worse damage had occurred between 5pm on Thursday and 12.40pm on Friday.

He said: "Someone has walked over all the bonnets in the front row."

Mr Thomas said it had caused thousands of pounds worth of damage, but he had not worked out an exact cost.

He said: "They have been doing it four nights in a row. On Monday night the front of one of the cars was damaged again.

"Someone also threw a bottle into the used car area which damaged a car."

Police are now examining CCTV footage to help catch the vandals who have repeatedly targeted the garage.

Constable Greg Smith, the investigating officer for West Mercia Police, appealed for anyone with information about the incident to contact police.

He said: "We will be examining CCTV footage of the scene and a making a number of enquiries.

"We are keen to hear from anyone who knows the identity of those people responsible for the damage."
