An angler is appealing for help to catch vandals who smashed his van windscreen in broad daylight while he was collecting bait on the beach.

Nicholas Pidgeon returned to his P-registration white Ford Courier Kombi van after digging for lug worms in the sand, to find the screen had been smashed in four places.

The incident happened in Vale Road car park, Trimingham, on Thursday, October 7, between about 12.30pm and 1.30pm.

Mr Pidgeon, from North Walsham, said: 'There are lots of people about at that time, including dog walkers, so I thought maybe someone might have seen something.'

Anyone with information should contact the police on 0845 456 4567.
