This type of anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated. We believe that some motorists affected by this vandalism have not come forward to make a formal report to the police yet. I would urge people to contact us if their vehicle was damaged in Brading on Sunday night or if they noticed anybody acting suspiciously in the town at the weekend.”
