Car-less tenant smashed vehicle in parking rage

A tenant trashed a car that he found left in his parking space despite having never used the bay in up to 12 years.

Gavin Glover, 58, who has no car and does not drive, used a hammer to smash the windscreen, rear window and rear passenger window of a VW Polo parked in a space allocated to him as part of his lease on a flat.

Glover, from Crewe, Cheshire, said: “I do not have my own car. Nevertheless, I see this as being impolite.”

At Crewe magistrates’ court he was ordered to pay the owner of the car £300 compensation after admitting criminal damage on Dec 18 last year. He now faces eviction from his flat.
