A woman was left with a bill for a new rear windscreen after she claims a man on an e-scooter smashed into the back of her parked car.
Denni Atkins, a 27-year-old gym manager, woke up to find the rear window of her Nissan Qashqai had been shattered. There was broken glass on the floor and a man's slider shoe in the street.
Police made house-to-house enquiries and tried to find CCTV footage of the incident. Nobody has been arrested or charged in relation to the incident which happened on the night of May 19 in the Ellesmere Port area.

Ms Atkins, who lives on Cromwell Road, said: "I heard a bang in the night but was not sure what it was. In the morning I went out and my rear windscreen had been smashed. There was glass on the floor and a man's slider shoe. He crashed his e-scooter into the back of my car and then made off."
Ms Atkins reported the incident to the police. She said: "Because I am local I found out the name of the man responsible, but he is not insured for the e-scooter I have to pay all the costs. There is the money for a new windscreen and the time involved in sorting all of this out."
A spokesperson for Cheshire Police confirmed they received a report of criminal damage at around 8.30am on May 20. The spokesperson said: "There was damage caused to the bumper and the back window.
"Officers have done house-to-house enquiries and at this stage there are no witnesses or CCTV footage. Anyone with any information is asked to contact Cheshire Constabulary online quoting IML 1273332."
