Vigilante slashes car tyres

A mystery vigilante has been slashing motorists' tyres as a punishment for using their mobile phones while driving.

The attacker - dubbed The Mobile Slasher - leaves a sinister note on his victims' windscreens using letters cut from newspapers.

The bizarre calling card reads: "Warning. You have been seen driving while using your mobile phone."

Police are investigating a series of raids which have happened under cover of darkness in Hampshire.

So far 20 motorists in the towns of Gosport, Lee-on-the-Solent and Stubbington have reported similar attacks.

Police believe the suspect may be someone who has been the victim of an accident caused by a driver using a phone.
