Border City Autos in Carlisle has been targeted by vandals for the fourth time since it was opened a year ago by a former bar owner.

In the latest incident paint stripper was thrown over a perimeter fence onto vehicles including a Peugeot 306 and Ford Transit, causing around £10,000 damage to the paintwork.

Ten months ago £100,000 of damage was caused when paint stripper was thrown over 40 cars on its forecourt.

The business was lauched in July 2007 by brothers Kevin and Stephen Bell. Stephen Bell previously ran two bars in the city.
