A nurse has been left upset after finding her car had been damaged by yobs.

Sally-Ann Copsey has lived in Sprowston Road with her eight-year-old daughter for the last six years and is a nurse at the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital.

However, on New Year's Day, she rushed out of the house to get to the hospital and found that her car - a Honda Civic - had its wing mirror smashed.

"I noticed my wing mirror has been cracked and folded backwards, so I went back to look at my Ring Doorbell footage.

"I could see a man run up to my car's wing mirror and give it a whack on the way past.

"It's been bent back the other way, ruined the wires I think and the plastic casing has come off as well.

"I've put it back in the correct position but the annoying thing is I park outside mine because it lets me get to the hospital quicker if I get called out.

"Now I keep thinking whether or not I should park it outside my house but honestly it's not something I should have to worry about."

Sally-Ann has been speaking to neighbours to see if there is any more footage available to help find the culprit.

She added: "I'm always game for a bit of fun but vandalising cars is unacceptable.

"With the holidays and how busy I've been with my daughter, I haven't even had a chance to get it looked at.

"Hopefully more footage may show up which will help find whoever done it."
