IT was sad to see the news that mindless vandals have been tormenting residents in Worcester, smashing windows and causing havoc.

Some of the things these people are doing are just baffling, like putting a raw frankfurter through someone's letterbox.

How would that thought even enter someone's head?

It is a shame really, as these people clearly have no pride in the place where they live.

It says a lot about these people and the value they put in themselves that they would vandalise the place where they live.

There is no easy way around the issue either, these things will keep happening as they always have done.

It is also worth remembering that these incidents took place in Halloween week, but that is still no excuse for breaking someone's windows.

That is the mindless action of a thug, someone with no respect for others or their property.

While it is true that Worcester City Council are considering putting orders in place to deal with anti social behaviour, the reality is that it will likely have no effect.
