STONE-throwing vandals caused £2,500 of damage during a 30-minute wrecking spree in Morecambe town centre in the early hours.
Maelstrom, on Euston Road, Pottery Basement, on Skipton Street, and Farrell and Heyworth in Victoria Street, all had windows broken.
Stones were also thrown at the Abbey National bank and the Stationery for Less store in the Saturday night rampage - but no damage was caused.
A group of suspects were seen near all the premises, all described as in their late teens or early 20's wearing jeans.
And Inspector Jill Townley, geographic inspector for Morecambe, says: "This is just mindless vandalism.
"It serves no purpose apart from causing inconvenience and cost to shopkeepers and we intend to speak to witnesses and thoroughly check the CCTV cameras in an attempt to catch these people.
"And I would ask anyone with information to come forward and speak to police."
Anyone with information should contact Crimestoppers on 0800-555111.
