A Bradford City supporter has said he was "sickened" after vandals targeted fans' cars parked near to Valley Parade.

Andrew Bradbury said around 25 vehicles were "scratched to the bone" as the Bantams drew 2-2 against Fleetwood.

Police yesterday confirmed they were investigating a number of reports of damaged cars in the area during Saturday's game.

Mr Bradbury, said he had parked on the same streets to watch City for around the last 20 years.

"I just parked in my usual spot. It's a road used by lots of City supporters and it's perfectly legal to park there," he said.

"There have been a few incidents in the last year or so, with people having things stolen from their cars, but not vandalism on that scale.

"This was different, there were around 25 cars which had been targeted, and every one had been scratched to the bone.

"I don't know they had used, probably a key or maybe a rock, but it was just wanton damage, absolutely stupid."

Mr Bradbury, of Roedhelm Road, East Morton, Keighley, said he had the bonnet of his car scratched, but estimated the damage on the entire street might have run to "hundreds if not thousands" of pounds.

"I was one of the lucky ones, as they only damaged my bonnet," he said.

"Some cars also had their windows smashed, it's just ridiculous.

"One woman was really upset and was crying, which is no surprise.

"You take a risk parking there, like anywhere else, but it makes you question whether its worth going to the games, which is a real shame.

"The damage has been taken to a new level, and people need to be aware.

"It just sickens me, there is absolutely no need for it."

Councillor Shabir Hussain (Lab, Manningham) urged anyone with information to come forward and help police.

"It's disturbing to hear about this, and whoever has done it needs to be caught and prosecuted," he said.

"Let's be vigilant. People are going to the football to enjoy themselves, and to come back to that kind of vandalism is very upsetting. It's disgusting really."

Sergeant Tom Casey, of the Bradford West Area Neighbourhood Team, said: "We are investigating reports of a number of cars being damaged in Oak Villas and Parkfield Road on Saturday.

"These are believed to have occurred during the Bradford City match.

"Our enquiries into this are continuing, and we would urge anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area between 3pm and 5pm on Saturday to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111."
