CCTV cameras installed as part of a crackdown on anti-social behaviour in part of Bradford were destroyed by vandals just hours after they were put up.
The three cameras were damaged within 24 hours of being put in place on Monday 7 April at Stoneyhurst Square in Holme Wood, the Incommunities housing association said.
A spokesperson for the organisation said: "The CCTV was installed as part of our efforts to improve safety and tackle anti-social behaviour, and we understand how frustrating this situation is for the people who live in the area."

County lines drug dealer jailed after police raids

A county lines drug dealer has been jailed after being caught with class A drugs during a police operation targeting suppliers and traffickers. Mohammed Fiaz, 40, of Newark Avenue in Peterborough, was caught during a dawn raid on his home as part of Operation Hypernova, a Cambridgeshire force-wide crackdown on county lines drug dealing and human trafficking. Police found three mobile phones, with messages linking him to dealing crack cocaine and heroin. At Peterborough Crown Court Fiaz admitted being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine and on Tuesday was sentenced to 30 months in jail. Det Con Stacey Neve, said: "Fiaz was sending bulk messages to vulnerable users advertising crack cocaine and heroin for sale in order to pocket the cash. "We will continue to make the county hostile towards county lines drug dealers and prevent further exploitation of young and vulnerable people." Operation Hypernova 3 took place in March and resulted in 50 county lines being dismantled and 35 people charged with more than 100 drug and human trafficking offences, Cambridgeshire Police said.
