A neighbour from hell who tore the roof off the home of the people living next door in a war over a garden fence has been released from prison after serving just three months of a four and a half year sentence.
Mark Coates, 57, was branded a 'human wrecking ball' by a judge after he tore the tiles and chimney pots off his £450,000 home before throwing them to the ground.
After he had finished destroyed his own roof he moved over to his neighbours and began demolishing their property.
The wrecking spree was the culmination of a bitter seven year boundary dispute over the location of a garden fence.
In March, Coates who was dubbed 'Britain's worst neighbour', was sentenced to four years and four months behind bars after he was found guilty of causing more than £200,000 of damage to the homes.
