Residents have been left puzzled in Bracondale, Lakenham, after the car sustained damage to the right-hand side door as well as the left rear wheel, which has been blown out.

The vehicle appears to have been parked in a permit zone when the incident happened, of which, the car had a permit for.

Resident, Shirley Jones, said she took particular interest as the car was a similar make and model to her own. She said: 'Heaven knows what happened. It could have been a crash I suppose.'

A police spokesman said that the incident had not been reported and officers are not investigating.

Another resident said she did not recognise the car, adding: 'I'm pretty sure it wasn't there when I closed my bedroom curtains at about 11pm last night, and this morning when I did look out and saw it, it was covered in frost.'
