AN ELDERLY Flintshire couple have had their 'lifeline' car damaged by 'mindless vandals'.
John, 81, and Jean Edwards, 77, from Mold, were alerted by neighbours to the fact their car's side window had been smashed, and front windscreen and its wipers damaged.
The incident took place between 11pm and 11.30pm on Tuesday (April 23) in the Queens Park area of Mold.
Mr and Mrs Edwards' daughter Joanne explained: "Our neighbours told us they'd seen two youths, both wearing hoods, throw a rock through the side window.
"They have snapped the windscreen wipers and also damaged the windscreen itself.
"This car is their lifeline, it's an independence and allows them to live their life so much more freely.
"My mum needs the car to get to frequent hospital appointments as well.
"I just want to warn people about some of the people there are about. The damage is just mindless vandalism, there's nothing in the car to take, it's an old car that wouldn't be targeted by thieves.
"My Dad said 'what have I done to deserve this?', people don't realise the impact their actions can have on people."
This is the second time in a year that Mr and Mrs Edwards' car has been targeted by vandals, with their Peugeot suffering minor damage after the Peugeot logo was broken off the car last year.
Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting OWL Cymru X055678.
