The areas that have been targeted are Middlewich Road, Abbey Road and Elworth Road, with similar incidents reported in Wheelock, Sandbach, Brereton and Holmes Chapel.

"I would urge anyone with information to contact us so that we can find the person or people responsible for this mindless vandalism.”
