A414 vandals

Driving into Hertford, travelling East from the Hertingfordbury Roundabout at 18:30 this evening..............noticed a group of kids in the shadows of the trees on left...........the B A N G something hit the car. I stopped further up behind another guy who had been hit 10 minutes earlier. The police were called and went to investigate..........worth keeping an eye open as I doubt if the kids hung around when they saw a blue flashing light.

Nope...........very odd..............both I and the other driver thought it sounded significant. It was a very loud bang. We thought it must have been a rock. But I can't see any damage. The police said to check it over in daylight and report back to them. The other driver went off with the policeman as he thought he saw the children disappear through a back garden gate.

Id be intrigued to know if it was the same group that are ripping off wing mirrors on hertingfordbury road almost every week. I caught sight of one tonight smashing them as he rode past on his bike. Its the third time this month weve had our cars damaged. I will be reporting it to police in the morning but not too hopeful as I havent got much of a description. I would be keen to hear if anyone sees or hears anything.

I know the area. I live very close by.........as do a few other forum members. Do the CCTV cameras in the garage cover your road? Come to think of it.......are they even switched on?

no I wouldnt have thought the cameras would have it covered. The police have been informed now anyway. Doubt theres too much they can do but I guess if theres a pattern of behaviour building up in the area its important we all report it to give them the best chance of doing something about it.
