'Gang of horrors' stab tyres on vans and cars in area in grip of yob misery

Yobs described as “absolute terrors” have been blamed for a spate of tyre slashings that left five cars and vans in the same car park out of action.

Drivers on Centurion Road in Castlefields, Runcorn, awoke on Tuesday to find the damage to their vehicles, meaning some couldn’t get to work. Heather O’Neill, whose car was among those targeted, said all of the ruptured tyres were “stabbed” around four or five times.

Heather, 43, and neighbour Lisa Shannon, 45, said they believe the incident was the latest in a wave of antisocial behaviour (ASB) degrading quality of life in the area. Lisa branded the perpetrators “hooligans”.
