A newspaper delivery boy has been left without a bike after THREE of his cycles were trashed by vandals.
Liam Tilbury, who delivers the Evening Gazette, spent his hard-earned cash on a new bike after his first bicycle was damaged at Clacton County High School.
But yobs rendered it useless and then wrecked the bike his dad had lent him.
The 13-year-old's parents, Maria and Jon Tilbury, have called for the school to increase its security.
They have told teachers he will not attend lessons until the matter is resolved.
Mrs Tilbury, of Fleetwood Avenue, Holland-on-Sea, said: "As a family on a very low income we cannot afford the daily bus fares for the two-mile journey."
Headteacher John Clay said he was due to have a meeting with Mrs Tilbury.
