The paintwork of two Mercedes C220s, an Audi A3, a VW Golf, a VW Polo, a VW Tourag, a Vauxhall Astra, a Vauxhall Corsa and a Nissan Micra were all scratched along one entire side of each vehicle.
Investigating Officer, Pc Danielle Brennan, said: "Each act of criminal damage was carried out overnight
“There is no pattern or any particular type of car which has been damaged."
