Vandals caught on camera smashing car windows

Vandals smashing car and van windows have been caught on camera after a night time spree.

The pair were filmed by CCTV in Tarner Road. The footage shows one taking a heavy item from a skip and hurling towards the back of a car parked in a disabled parking bay.

Police were called, and officers found two more vehicles with similar damage round the corner in Sussex Street.

The owners of another van parked off Sussex Street also found its windscreen had been smashed the next day.

The woman whose CCTV caught them said: “There’s just no reason for it. They only look about 14 or 15.”

A spokesman for Sussex Police said: “Police were called shortly after 11pm on Saturday (July 1) to a report of damage being caused to a vehicle parked in Tarner Road, Brighton.

“Officers attended and found a further two vehicles with damage in nearby Sussex Street.

“An area search was carried out for the suspect but with no trace. Enquiries are ongoing and anyone with information is asked to report it online or by calling 101 quoting serial 1571 of 01/07.”

    I am the owner of the van who had the window smashed. When it was being repaired some youth who i believe are the culprits walked by laughing. They are in the area regularly as i believe they live in Hanover.Impossible to prove anything though

    Perhaps a vigilante group is needed there.

    Mindless yobs. Parents should be made to pay for the damage if and when they are caught

    They need to be caught, my kid or yours, they need to be stopped. And taught a lesson, would you agree?

    They might be hanging about carrying knifes too, most definitely
