Taxi drivers in a Bristol area say they feel let down by police after claiming more than 50 vehicles have been damaged in the past month. The drivers claimed that vehicles are being targeted "every single day" around the BS5 and BS2 areas of East Bristol, mainly having windows smashed but also having registration plates stolen in a few occasions.
Sharif Deria, the owner of JS Hire Bristol Bristol Limited, said that Avon and Somerset Police is failing the community. He said that four of his vehicles have been damaged in recent weeks.
