\n The attacks are believed to have happened in the early hours of this morning in Lansdowne Crescent off Rainbow Hill in Worcester – and have been reported to police.\n<\/p>\n
\n Nine cars have been damaged, including a Toyota Yaris, a Ford Fiesta Zetec, a Ford Mondeo, a Ford Focus, a Ford transit van, a Peugeot van, a Volkswagen Up! and a Mazda MX5.\n<\/p>\n
\n Damage includes smashed windscreens, smashed driver’s and rear windows and damage to car roofs, with police tape marking those vehicles that have been attacked.\n<\/p>\n
\n David Flynn, 35, was busy clearing out broken glass from his Mazda when we arrived and said the matter had been reported to West Mercia Police.\n<\/p>\n
\n A police community support officer had given him her card. We have contacted West Mercia Police for more details about the attacks.\n<\/p>\n

\n Mr Flynn, who discovered the damage at around 9.30am this morning, said he understood officers were searching for dashcam footage of the incident but he did not have any. He explained he was waiting for officers to ring him back with a crime reference.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said he has heard that the damage was caused by people returning home drunk.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I’m lucky in that I have only had my driver’s window done. There are cars further up that have had all their windows done and their roof stamped on,” he said.\n<\/p>\n

\n Mr Flynn said he was told Autoglass could not repair the window for two weeks and he has also been in conversation with his insurers to try to arrange for a courtesy car in the meantime.\n<\/p>\n
\n However, he said he had arranged for another firm to replace the glass and was waiting by the car until they came out, estimating it could take until 7pm or 8pm tonight.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said he felt compelled to ‘stand guard’ because his car was no longer secure in the wake of the incident.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Flynn, who is in full time employment and also works as a stand-up comedian, said he had been forced to cancel plans while he dealt with the damage, calling the attack ‘mindless’.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It just feels like you can’t have anything nice anymore. This is going to cost me hundreds of pounds, and hopefully I can get it back from the insurers,” said Mr Flynn, who has had the 10-year-old car for two years.\n<\/p>\n
\n He added: “It’s been scratched four times. I’m getting to the stage where I might just trade it in for an old banger. You just can’t have nice things anymore, and there’s no deterrent.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Flynn said he could put the damage on his credit card, but many people were now living in a time when one large bill could push them into destitution.\n<\/p>\n
\n “These people are working people. They’re not rich,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The attacks are believed to have happened in the early hours of this morning in Lansdowne Crescent off…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":739093,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[84,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-739092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=739092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739092\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/739093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=739092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=739092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=739092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
