Residents of Bendysh Road have found their doorbells had been ripped apart and stolen overnight.

The police are investigating the theft and are appealing for witnesses.

They believe the incident happened between 7.30pm yesterday and 10am today.

The offenders are reported to have pulled off the bell-push part of the doorbell and taken it with them.

Nick Green, who lives on the street said: "This is really annoying and we now have to spend money on replacing the bells.

"Whoever did this has literally pulled the bell apart and the only thing left is the plastic back."

Bushey north councillor, Leslie Winters said: "I urge residents of Bendysh Road to go to the police if they have found their doorbell pulled apart.

"These people have done about a £1,000 worth of damage and need to be caught."
