The windows of a car and a front door of a home were smashed during an early morning argument in Curtiss Drive, Leavesden, earlier this week.

Police were called at 7.30am on Monday to reports of a disturbance between people believed to be known to each other.

Officers found that the windows of a silver Volkswagen Golf were broken as well as the glass panes of a nearby front door.
