A luxury Aston Martin worth nearly £200,000 was vandalised in the car park of Hampton Court Palace Golf Club in South West London, with the word 'CHEATER' spray-painted on the bonnet. The incident occurred on Monday, 25 May, and police are investigating.

The Metropolitan Police were called at around 2pm and spoke to the witness and the car's owner, who was walking his dogs at the time. No arrests have been made, and enquiries continue. Anyone with information is urged to contact police on 101, quoting CAD 4251/25MAY, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
