VANDALS are sought by police after spraying around 17 parked cars with paint - leading to some of the older models being written off.

Vehicles parked in Eastfield Road and Hailey Road, in Witney, were left covered in white and cream-coloured paints after the incident at about 11pm on Tuesday.

Paint was flicked across the sides and poured over the roofs of cars including an Audi, a Jaguar and a Mini.

Kim Ward, who lives in Eastfield Road, had her new Audi Q7, purchased just last year, parked outside her home.

She awoke to discover the carnage on the street and spent much of Wednesday fixing up her car.

It is understood that some older cars on the street were written off by insurers as a result of the damage.

Ms Ward said: "I don't know whether they were drunk or bored, but if it was somebody elderly affected they wouldn't be able to sort it out like I have. The vandals just haven't thought about the impact it could have."

Police have urged anybody with information to contact them on 101.
