Care workers preparing for home visits for the terminally ill had to make alternative travel arrangements after their branded cars were vandalised.

The St Christopher’s cars were targeted outside the Sydenham hospice in Lawrie Park Road and staff discovered the damage on Friday morning.

A spokeswoman for the end-of-life care hospice told News Shopper: "Unfortunately, two of our hospice cars were vandalised.

"The company who we lease the cars from have collected and replaced the vehicles so this will not affect our visits to patients in the community."

The cars were not usable because of destruction to the windscreens.
