A Midlands speed camera previously targeted by an arsonist and a man with an angle grinder has been set on fire. A burning tyre was placed over the Gatso camera on the A5-A444 Royal Redgate junction on the Warwickshire/ Leicestershire boundary, near Nuneaton.
The camera is thought to have been destroyed, causing damage estimated at �38,000, during the latest incident on Sunday morning.
Police are treating the attack as arson and appealing for witnesses.
Magistrates ordered a 27-year-old Lincolnshire man to pay �4,000 in compensation and perform 120 hours of community service after he admitted criminal damage to a camera on the site for an attack in 2003.
The camera is owned by the Warwickshire Casualty Reduction Partnership.
