She reported it to the police but she is calling other residents in the area to contact the police if their cars have also been damaged."

She said: "I noticed it at about 8 o’clock this morning and we reckon it happened in the early hours.

"Forensic vans are in the street too, everyone needs to report this to the police."

Kent Police say officers will be speaking to the vehicle owners who have reported damage, and working to identify other victims.

Officers will also be focusing their patrols in the area to provide a visible deterrent.
