A PENSIONER who had been organising a Dads' Army convention has had her car turned onto its side in the latest of a spate of vandal attacks.

Josie Collins, from Anfield Court, Red Hall, Darlington, was not in her Smart Car at the time it was attacked on Sunday night.

Mrs Collins, who celebrated her 75th birthday last week, said: "They turned the car over. They smashed it up and left it on its side.

"It is a complete write-off this time."

Police confirmed they were investigating a series of attacks on Mrs Collins and her family. The car was taken away for investigation.

Mrs Collins' Dads' Army convention, which was planned for the weekend, was postponed at the end of last week.
