Police are treating the incident as antisocial behaviour.

At around the same time fire crews were called upon to don full chemical protection suits after a resident's barometer fell off the wall and spilt toxic mercury at a home in Carlton Mews.

They consulted scientific experts who advised them to take the precautions before removing the liquid metal and contaminated articles from the property.
