A police spokesman said a total of eight vehicles were damaged in the attacks.

Sillfield Farm was targeted by animal rights activists, who damaged property and set a number of wild boars free, in April this year.
Cumbria police has notified the counter terrorism unit which routinely investigates incidents of animal extremism.

"In the early hours Peter Gott's Sillfield Boar farm situated near Kendal, in North West England received a visit from the Animal Liberation Front. The fencing was cut around the woodland and gates opened. The friendly boar roamed off. The rare breed pigs were also released along with other boar situated in the barn and holding areas. The tyres on an animal transporter were also attended to.
