"Police believe a gang of six racists vandalised a worshipper's car outside a Sikh temple in revenge for the London bombings. They threw a brick through the window of a car parked outside the Sar Gurdwara Temple, in Tithe Barn Road, Stafford, at about 1.15am on Saturday.

"Sergeant Paul Prenter, of Staffordshire Police, said: 'The temple is a Sikh temple and it is believed at this time the offenders thought the occupants were Muslims, following the recent attacks in London.'"
