Russell King, who has lived in Woolpack Hill for 17 years, said he was disgusted to see what has been done throughout the 'lovely village'.

He said: "We heard the people vandalising ours and our neighbours car at 12.15am.

"I went out to check what had happened and found that ours and our neighbours cars had been hit with what looked like a hammer and a glass beer bottle.

"We then walked round to check my mother's car which was parked in Church Road to find that that too had been vandalised as had two more further up the road.
