Cars have been smashed into and spray painted with the word 'MOVE' during an overnight spree of vandalism in Leigh.
Residents of Glover Street have woken up to their car windows smashed, and the word 'MOVE' spray painted onto it in bright yellow. Images posted in a local Facebook group show at least three cars affected.
The incident has sparked discussion about 'pavement parking' in the comments, with some suggesting the cars were targeted because of their placement on the pavements. But others have lashed out at the vandalism, calling it 'appalling'.

One commenter said the way the cars are parked meant buggies and wheelchairs would not be able to get through, branding it 'not acceptable'. However, others defended the drivers, saying they 'don't deserve this'.
"Unfortunately a lot of our streets aren't wide enough for the amount of cars to park up so sometimes it's necessary to park partly on the pavement," one said. "I know and can understand how this isn't good, but they should leave enough room for disability scooters and prams."
But others joked that the vandal 'clearly can't spell' and that they can hardly make out the message.
Greater Manchester Police have been contacted for comment.
