A TEACHER'S car had every window and light smashed after it was left outside Fisher More High School, Colne.

Elizabeth Byrne returned to her L-registered Fiat Cinquecento to find £1,500 worth of damage. The vandals had also poured oil inside the car.

The havoc was part of around £2,500 of vandalism reported to the police throughout Pendle in recent days.

Cars have been the main target, but house and shop windows have also been smashed.

In Nelson, four windows of a house in Regent Street were smashed by stones and a large window was broken at the Mill Trading Shop, Leeds Road.

In Colne, a stone was thrown through the windscreen of a Lada Riva in Skelton Street, and all the tyres were deliberately gouged on a Vauxhall Nova in West Street.
