A CAR was badly damaged in a vandal attack.

The silver Vauxhall Astra was attacked before 3pm yesterday in a back street off Castle Street, The Haulgh .

The rear window was smashed and the paintwork had been scratched.

A nearby neighbour, who asked not to be named, said: “It must have only just happened as the broken glass is still on the floor.”

Police said they had not received any report of the incident.
