Yobs have burst tyres on nine cars in a spate of attacks in Hurdsfield.

Cars parked on Queens Avenue, Chesnut Avenue and Rowan Way have all been targeted in the series of incidents since September 29.

Police are now appealing for help catching the vandals and have also warned people living in the area to be vigilant.

All the incidents have taken place place overnight, at around 4am.

Drivers have then noticed the damaged on their way to work the next morning.

On each occasion the tyres on the cars have pricked with a sharp implement, thought to be a dart.

The owners have had to pay to have them replaced, or claim through their insurance.

There also plans to hold a residents meeting to discuss the problem.
