A gang of teenagers "rampaged and rioted" through a village, smashing cars and windows and terrifying residents.
Business owners and residents said between 15 and 20 teenage boys caused widespread damage in Narborough, Leicester, last night.
They smashed windows at three businesses, before destroying a wall and using the bricks to damage cars.
The gang then smashed every single window in a church hall which was being used by a women's sports group and attempted to smash the door in, according to residents.
A woman who was at her elderly mother's home in Chapel Court, Narborough, when she heard young people gathering outside, said: "We heard an enormous bang.
"They had gathered in the car park outside her house and knocked one of the coping stones off the top of the wall nearby.
"They were throwing them at the cars and smashing a guy's car window.
"It is absolutely disgusting. My mother now says she is frightened to be in her own home."
