Julie Peters, mother to two drivers who's cars were damaged in the hit-and-run, said her son had to write off his car on Christmas Eve morning and her daughter's car was damaged too.

Ms Peters said: "The black car is my sons which they hit up onto the curb and into the wall.
Then hit my neighbours (below). Which then hit my daughter's."

"The driver reportedly left the scene following the collision and the car is believed to be a silver hatchback", said Gwent Police.

Ms Peters said she is devastated for her son, who is "works really hard" and "he's had to pay £700 excess because the car has been written off because he's under 21".

Ms Peters also said they have spoken to the insurance company and "the car was confirmed yesterday as a 'Cat B'".

'Cat B' refers to a car that has been 'damaged beyond repair'.
