This is the moment thugs were caught on CCTV attacking cars parked in the same Edinburgh street on two occasions last week.
In one incident, filmed on Sunday in the Niddrie area of the city, a man wearing a balaclava gets out of the back of a VW Golf and walks towards a car parked in a front yard.
He raises his arm and throws a brick at the windscreen with full force, before jumping back into the Golf which speeds away.

In an earlier incident – filmed at around midnight on Friday, February 25 – footage shows two hooded men running up to another car parked further along the same street.
One of the hooded men launches another large item, which also appears to be a brick, with force at the parked vehicle.
The car’s windscreen smashes before the two thugs run away back down the street and out of shot.
Both cars were damaged in the respective incidents. The motive behind both attacks is not yet known.
Tens of thousands of people have viewed footage of the incidents which have been shared on TikTok.
One person said their father’s car was targeted by the thug. He urged viewers: ‘Track these people down.’
A Police Scotland spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘On Sunday, February, 27 officers received reports of two cars damaged on Cleekim Drive, Edinburgh.
‘Police enquiries are ongoing into these incidents and anyone with information should contact 101 with reference 0315 of 27 February.’
