Witnesses are being sought after the vehicles were all damaged overnight between Saturday and Sunday, February 4/5.

Two vehicles left in a car park in Whapload Road, Lowestoft were targeted. The right hand side rear door window of a Volvo estate was smashed at sometime between 5.30pm on Saturday and 6am on Sunday, and between the same times a suspect gained entry into a Dacia Duster motor vehicle, smashing the passenger side window of the vehicle, before entering the vehicle with the windscreen damaged from within.

In Queens Road, Lowestoft, between 8pm and 8am, a police spokesman said: 'An unknown party has scratched two vehicles - a VW Golf and a Ford Fiesta – all the way around the bodywork using an unknown tool, while they were securely parked outside a residential address.'

Overnight in Holllingsworth Road, the front windscreen of a Ford Focus C-Max was smashed.

Two vehicles were also damaged in The Ravine. Between 9pm on Saturday and 8am on Sunday bricks were thrown through the back windscreen of a black Ford Focus, causing it to smash.

Damage was also caused to a red Renault Clio, parked in The Ravine between 2pm on Saturday and 10.15am on Sunday. A police spokesman said that 'some kind of rock or stone' had been thrown at the rear windscreen, causing it to smash.

One of those affected by the damage caused in The Ravine hit out after discovering their cars had been vandalised overnight.

'Two innocent families have woken up to find their car back windows smashed in with bricks,' the victim said.

A police spokesman said that officers were investigating to see if there were 'any links' between the spate of criminal damage incidents in Lowestoft and anyone who witnessed the vehicles being targeted should contact police.
