A man scraped a screwdriver along three cars in Glynllifon Road in the early hours of the morning
The moment a man on his way back from the pub scraped a screwdriver along the side of a car, causing hundreds of pounds of damage.
Dafydd Jones, who lives on Glynllifon Road in Blaenau Ffestiniog , caught the man red-handed scratching his car thanks to CCTV outside.
The reveller had left the Meirion Pub shortly after midnight on February 26, and mindlessly scratched three cars in a row, including Mr Jones’ Golf TDI.
Thanks to Mr Jones’ CCTV footage, police were able to trace the man and arrest him.
He was released with a conditional caution - an agreement between him, the police and the Crown Prosecution Service that no prosecution will follow if certain conditions are adhered to.

The decision has left Mr Jones facing a tough battle to recoup the money for repairs, which runs into hundreds of pounds.
Mr Jones said: “You can see him scratch all three of the cars.
“When I saw the damage the next day, I went into my CCTV and I could see him.
“I got the police involved but now I totally regret that.
