The victim posted on Facebook and said: “Last night at 2.14am we had three cars badly damaged with acid on our driveways just off the Stratford Road by two young vandals.
“Please could I ask if anyone recognises either of the boys or has any CCTV footage of the Stratford Road either in the run up to 2.14am coming from Henley towards The Barn or after 2.14am going back in the direction of Henley.”
