A 20-YEAR-OLD woman had paint stripper poured over her car at the weekend, and she was not alone.

Eight in total were vandalised at different locations.

Heather Fenwick bought the car, a metallic blue Fiesta, a year ago. It is the first new car she has owned.

‘I was shocked and really angry,’ she said. ‘I don’t know why they did it. I worked really hard to get this car, and I’m still paying it off.’
