The victim, who did not wish to be named for fear of being targeted again, added: "The police got back to me a few days ago saying they were investigating the incident and have made local patrols aware.

"At the moment I have stuck the lights back on with some industrial strength mastic, however I won't be buying new ones as I'm sure it will just happen again regardless.

"It's unnecessary, mindless vandalism - I honestly don't know why people do it.
