Vandals poured paint over a new memorial bench just two days after it had been put in place.

The seat had been erected at Saltmarsh, Little Oakley, as a tribute to a member of the village's wildfowl trust.

But a couple of days later, white paint was tipped over the teak bench.

Anyone with information should contact PC Emma Bamfield at Harwich police on 01255 241312
