Cat's Eyes Vandalised in Bourton

Police in the Cotswolds are appealing for information after 35 sets of cat�s eyes were ripped out of the road on a section of the A429 in Bourton-on-the-Water.

The incident occurred at around 2.50am this morning (Thursday, May 22) just before the set of traffic lights at the turn off for Bourton-on-the-Water, as you approach from Cheltenham.
