The man, who does not wish to be named for fear that he may be targeted, told The Herald that schoolchildren, between the ages of 13 and 17 are systematically vandalising cars, rocking brick walls until they fall over and causing other damage around the village between 10 pm and 12-30 am.
Claims that around £2,000 worth of damage was caused to cars in the library car park off Liphook Road over a period of several weeks have been made, as well as claims of vandalism on three or four occasions within the last fortnight to Sainsbury's street lamps which light the path between Midhurst Road and the store.
There are also claims of other acts of vandalism in areas around Liphook's recreation grounds.
"It is not the youngsters who use the skateboard park, most of them do not abuse the local property, it is the people the park attracts after dark," said the man.
"I've almost put the police down as friends and family numbers on my phone account because of the times I have rung them." said the man who praised the police for their good response to calls.
Alan Taylor-Bennett the head of Bohunt School which has also suffered at the hands of vandals who damaged wing mirrors on the school's mini- busses several weeks ago, did not believe that pupils from his school were involved.
"We had some relatively minor damage but more often than not because of its geographical location and near to the A3, the village attracts children from a long way away," said Mr Taylor-Bennett.
"The children who live in the village are a good lot and there are very few that let them down - I am a great defender of youth," he said.
Mr Taylor-Bennett believed that many of the problems were caused by young people driving into the village from outlying areas and congregating in Liphook.
"I would not want to see our children blamed," he said.
A spokesman for Whitehill police said that the police were aware of "some damage in Liphook".
The spokesman added that complaints had also been received about youths congregating in the skate park and leaving litter.
"Obviously, if reports are made then the response depends on resources and we do have to prioritise," said the spokesman.
