Scared residents have said Castlefield "isn't a safe place to be" after attacks on cars continued into a fourth week - with some being targeted for a second time.

More than 200 vehicles have been vandalised and had windows smashed over the course of a month-long campaign of destruction.

The two latest attacks took place on Tuesday evening in Longland Way - and the vandalism has become so prevalent that previously-targeted motorists have had their cars attacked for a second time after having repairs carried out.

Mounted police patrols took place in the area last week in a bid to provide reassurance to residents, but the month-long spate of vandalism shows no sign of abating despite eight arrests being made.

Worried residents this week said Castlefield is not safe because of the attacks persisting.

Many people in Longland Way did not wish to speak to the Bucks Free Press this week, and those that did declined to be named.

A female resident who was one of the victims of Tuesday's spate of violence, with the front passenger window of her car being put through, said: "Three weeks ago my brother's car window was smashed.

"It's been going on for too long, it's been four weeks. I'm very worried.

"You lose money - I can't go to work in a car like that. It's too much.

"The police can't do anything about it. They're trying, but they can't find them [the perpetrators]."

Another female resident said: "It's not a safe place to be. As soon as I get in from work, I shut the door and bolt it."

And a man who lived in Longland Way who did not wish to be identified added: "It's been unsettled for a long time.

"People can't understand what the reason is, why you would go and upset 100-odd people.

"It's unsafe living here. It's happened all over, on this road, on the next one up."

The man said one of his neighbours had been one of the first victims of the crime spree.

He said: "She got out the car and came inside and heard a bang, and found the windows had gone."

It is believed the initial wave of violence started as a direct result of the inquest verdict of Habib 'Paps' Ullah, who died in police custody in 2008.

In the days following the verdict many cars were sprayed with the initials NJNP, believed to stand for No Justice No Peace, but the graffiti vandalism is now no longer taking place.
