Yobs tip car on side

Herald group advertising representative David Smith, 32, of Brooklyn Avenue, Goring, discovered the upturned Vauxhall Corsa outside his home last Thursday morning.

He said: "A neighbour called the police after hearing a loud crunch and some laughter, then some mopeds driving off. We were just totally shocked. It's a strange thing to happen for such a quiet road."

Neighbours called the police at around 2am after realising what had happened.

The car was taken to a local garage for repairs to windows and bodywork and should be back on four wheels by the end of the week.

There have been sporadic examples of vandalism to shops in the Goring Road area over the last few months, but police are not linking the incidents.

Officers said they had not received any reports of similar things happening anywhere else in the town.
