A PUB landlord has released CCTV images of a flower bed vandal in a bid to stop attacks on her plants.

Tanith Abbott, manager of the Guildford, in Sutton Road, Southend, said: “It is hugely disappointing that these planters have been damaged by vandals a second time this summer.

“The plants are there to brighten up the pub.”

The incident happened at about 3.20am on Tuesday. The man can be seen ripping up plants and throwing them against the pub.
