Mindless yobs have left a trail of trouble in Chipping Norton in the past week, police said today.

Louts threw rocks damaging two cars parked in Cooper's Square between 8pm and 8.30pm on Monday.

Later in the evening rocks were used to smash windows at the Holy Trinity School in London Road.

Yobs returned and attacked the school a second time yesterday when they smashed more windows and doors at around 8pm.

Minutes later four buses were attacked while parked at the former Parker Knoll site where windows were smashed and fire extinguishers set off.

Police are connecting the spate with an attack at Chipping Norton School on Friday when a temporary building was broken into and windows smashed.

Sgt Rosemary Dilsaver said: "This mindless behaviour has caused great distress to the staff and children of Holy Trinity.

"If you saw a group of youths behaving suspiciously in the London Road area any evening this week, please get in touch and tell us what you saw.

"We are determined to catch and punish whoever is behind these crimes."

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the damage to the buses and Holy Trinity School and released on bail pending further investigations.
