As Manchester United romped to a comfortable 3-1 victory over Bournemouth in the rescheduled English Premier League (EPL) match on Tuesday to knick the number five spot ahead of Southampton, more than 20 cars were being vandalised by yet to be identified persons.
After the match, Manchester United fans were devastated to find their cars with windows smashed and wheels removed in the car park at the end of Pomona Strand in Old Trafford.
Mirror UK reports on Wednesday through the Manchester Evening News that police were called to the car park at the end of Pomona Strand in Old Trafford – close the Pomona Metrolink station – at 8.37pm.
The tabloid wrote: “Officers found a number of vehicles, including BMWs and VWs (Volkswagens), on the car park had been vandalised. Many had their rear windows smashed in. It was not clear whether items had been stolen from inside the cars.
“One vehicle, a Ford, parked on Pomona Strand was left standing on bricks after thieves had made off with the wheels.”
According to Mirror UK, the car owners only realised the wrecking spree after they returned from the rearranged Premier League game against Bournemouth , which United won 3-1.
