CCTV is being scrutinised by police to see if the yobs who smeared dog excrement over a children's play slide have been captured on film.
A town council employee had the unenviable task of cleaning up the mess at the play area near the village hall in Hullbridge Road, South Woodham Ferrers.
Council bosses also had to repair a section of the special safety surface after it was ripped up by vandals.
A council spokesman said: "The CCTV is being looked at and the culprits will be identified."
