THREE Hereford businesses were left with hefty repair bills after vandals smashed windows across the city centre on Saturday night.

Connells Estate Agents and The Hereford Times' office in King Street and the Herefordshire Council planning office in Blueschool Street all suffered in the attacks. Although Police spokesperson Georgie Bates admitted this was not typical for a Saturday night in Hereford, she is not linking the attacks.

"We will treat them all as individual incidents and we appeal for anyone who saw the windows being smashed to come forward," she added.
