Speed camera hit by second attack

A speed camera in Shropshire which somebody tried to cut down with a power saw in 2003 has been damaged once more.

The £25,000 camera at Bennetts Bank, Wellington, was set on fire in the early hours of Sunday.

Damage was caused to the lens box and case of the Gatso camera, West Mercia Police said.

After the saw attack on 17 May 2003, Councillor Gary Davies, a former mayor of Wellington, described those who vandalised speed cameras as "morons".

There is no information so far about who might be responsible for the latest attack.
