Several of the car’s windows and its windscreen were smashed and the bodywork and driver’s wheel were damaged in the attack.

A picture of the car has been widely shared on Facebook including on the Spotted in Stevenage site.

The police said they are currently investigating to try and find out who committed the crime and what motivated them.
