Vandals smash shop and car windows and bus shelter in Starbeck
Vandals have smashed shop and car windows and a local bus shelter in Starbeck overnight.
Two windows at Pets Corner near the level crossing were shattered.
Windows were also destroyed on a bus shelter next to the shop and on several cars on nearby residential streets, including The Avenue and further down the High Street.
One employee at Pets Corner said that staff arrived at work this morning to find their workplace had been vandalised.
They added they were still in a state of disbelief that somebody had done it apparently for fun.

North Yorkshire Police said in a statement:
Last week vandals pulled up 20 trees on Belmont Field.
The trees had previously been damaged so many times at the other end of the field that Starbeck in Bloom, the community group that aims to make Starbeck more attractive, decided to move them.
Val Young, a local resident, described it as “disgusting” and “absolutely diabolical”.
