"next contestant Mrs BBC, specialist subject the bleedin obvious."

Fixed point speed cameras in north Wales have been sawn in half, pulled from the ground, glued, smashed and driven into, a road safety group has found.

There also been 13 fire damaged in mid and south Wales since 2006.

The findings are revealed by GoSafe, the road safety group which manages Wales' cameras.

In one incident a camera column in Hawarden, Flintshire, was wrenched from the roadside by rope tied to a vehicle.

And another in nearby Mynydd Isa was sawn up with the bits left on the road.

It is thought disgruntled motorists are to blame for some of the damage as people caught speeding incur fixed penalty fines.

There have been 32 incidents of damage to speed cameras reported since 2004 in north Wales, according to a Freedom of Information (FoI) request by Clwyd South AM Ken Skates.

GoSafe has since revealed there have been 28 other incidents in mid and south Wales since 2006.

My, those Welsh are just too too civilized--er, civilised.

Apparently not a single camera was attacked with firearms or explosives? Things are sure different over there.
