A neighbour said: “I have lived here for nearly 20 years and never seen anything like this. It’s shocking.
“It’s always been a very peaceful, quiet and safe street and I can’t believe this is happened.”
One victim added: “Parking is tight in the area and I had to leave my car a few streets away so I didn’t hear any alarms going off or the damage being caused by these thugs.
