Vandals have scratched and daubed obscene graffiti on about 20 cars in a mid-Essex town, causing more than £10,000 of damage.
The "mindless" spate happened during Monday night and the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Police believe a gang were operating in the Bocking area and targeting vehicles in Church Street, Stanes Road, Bailey Bridge Road, Camberton Road, Clavering Road, Deanery Hill and Dover Close.
The discovery of further vehicles attacked by the gang has not been ruled out.
If you have any information, contact Braintree police on 01376 551312, quoting reference 0235 on August 17. The officer dealing with the incident is PC Carl Crysell.
