THIEVES caused £8,000 worth of damage to a £51,000 Bentley car parked in South Woodford.

The crooks broke the front nearside window of the car parked in The Viaduct between 4pm and 5.20pm last Tuesday, setting light to the interior of the car and damaging the upholstery and roof.

They made off with the radio cassette from the luxury car, which had been parked in a parking bay and was left locked by the owner. Witnesses should ring the police crime management unit on 8345 2779.
