Six homes on a newbuild estate which were demolished after a teenager hijacked a JCB and went on an 'utterly mindless' rampage causing around £2.5million in damage have now been painstakingly rebuilt ahead of tenants finally moving in.
Images obtained by the Daily Mail show bare foundations of what was once newly-constructed council housing in Darlington, Durham.
Several of the completed homes are inhabited by families but the estate looks more like a demolition site than an suburban community.
The project, consisting of 150 homes, was meant to be finished early this summer but after the yob rammed into seven homes, construction was severely delayed.
In April, the 16-year-old stole the digger and drove into the homes leaving gaping holes in the walls, windows and doors.
