SEVERAL cars on a residential street in Wrexham have been vandalised.
At around 4.15am on Sunday, a lone individual with a a can of florescent green paint walked up and down Gerald Street, in Rhosddu, apparently spraying cars as he walked past.
Around 15 cars and vans have been vandalised, and the individual was captured on CCTV walking down one side of the cul-de-sac and then back out down the other side.
Councillor Marc Jones, who represents Grosvenor Ward and lives in the street, said: “It’s clear from the CCTV footage that this was a deliberate act of vandalism. The individual walked up one side and then back down the other, spraying cars as he walked. The police have been informed and hopefully can put a stop to this.”
We are appealing for information after more than 20 vehicles were sprayed with a fluorescent green paint like substance in the Gerald Street area of #Rhosddu #Wrexham.
