A MINDLESS vandal has been slammed after commuters were confronted with a destroyed bus stop on their way to work.

In an image sent to the Gazette this morning, a bus shelter in Ipswich Road, Colchester, is seen surrounded by shards of shattered glass.

The window panes of the public transport waiting zone are understood to have been smashed at some point over the weekend by a destructive hoodlum.

Furious resident Graham Boswell said: “Some idiot did this over the weekend.

“The other side was smashed a few weeks ago. What is the matter with some people?”
