Police are hunting vandals who spray-painted homes and cars in a wrecking spree in Dunfermline.
Officers are investigating after vehicles and front doors were daubed with gold and white paint on Thistle Street and Victoria Terrace, in the Headwell area of the town, on Sunday night.
Several paint marks were still visible on the vehicles on Tuesday, despite the owners’ efforts to clean them up.
One owner, who has asked not to be named, says the damage to her car will cost hundreds of pounds to fix.
She said: “It’s just wanton damage that makes no sense whatsoever.
“Not only is it the inconvenience of having to sort it out, it’s the cost.
“My car is one of ten damaged on the street overnight. It’s beyond me who would want to do such a thing.”
Officers were on Thistle Street for several hours on Monday afternoon as an investigation got under way to catch those responsible.
Another local branded the culprits “idiots”.
She told The Courier: “Several neighbours close to me had their cars damaged with one being sprayed right across the front windscreen.
“It’s usually such a quiet street without any trouble like this.
“They are just idiots out to spoil other people’s lives and need to be stopped from doing it again.”
Inspector Neil McGurk of Dunfermline Police Station said: “This was a completely mindless act and the cost of repairs will be significant.
“I would urge anyone who may have information or could have dashcam or private CCTV footage from the area on Sunday night to get in touch.
“If your car or property was damaged and you haven’t yet spoken to police then please get in touch.
“Please call 101, quoting 4311 of November 14, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
