Police are hunting vandals who kicked vehicles and ripped off wing mirrors in a spate of attacks in Bethesda over Easter weekend.
The damage to around six cars follows previous similar attacks on vehicles.
Last month vandals smashed the windscreens of 19 cars in Tregarth, Glasinfryn, Bethesda and Bangor in a rampage.
And last year yobs sprayed yellow paint and damaged the wing mirrors of cars parked on Glanogwen and High Street.
One of the cars damaged during the latest spate was a Fiat Ducato camper van which was parked in a public car park near the old police station in Bethesda.
Owner Paul Edwards, 42, said: “This was done over the bank holiday and we estimate there is about £500 of damage. They’ve damaged my wing mirrors and kicked and scraped the doors. We believe that more cars were damaged at the same time.
“It’s definitely becoming a problem and nothing seems to be done. We don’t really see police in Bethesda.”
He said he had parked his vehicle in the car park because the road is very narrow where he lives at Penybryn.
Idris Edwards, who owns Central Garage, said: “I’ve had a half a dozen cars been brought in by their owners after their wing mirrors were damaged. They include a Ford Puma, a Ford Fiesta as well as the motorhome.
“I’ve had to repair a lot of wing mirrors. Police were here a month ago after the windscreens of cars were smashed.”
A North Wales Police spokeswoman said they had only received one report of damage from Easter weekend and that referred to the motorhome.
She said: “Our enquiries are continuing and we are appealing for witnesses.”
Any one with information is asked to call officers on 101 - reference number U044999.
