Police are hunting a vandal who hurled a wheelbarrow at a greenhouse and tried to break into a car in Herne Bay.

The man reportedly threw an object at the front windows of a house in Reculver Road, at about 1.30pm on January 31.

The same man is thought to have visited another address in Reculver Road, where a greenhouse was smashed after a wheelbarrow was thrown against the glass.

The suspect is described as white, about 5ft 6ins, and is understood to have been carrying a fluorescent backpack.

PC Hannah Ashman said: "We have information that suggests the suspect stayed in the area until around 4.30pm as we also received other calls that day reporting a man of the same description loitering in the garden of a property in The Lees and attempting to get into a car in Terminus Drive.

"He was again seen with the brightly coloured bag, was wearing a dark jacket, tracksuit bottoms and is believed to be in his 40s.

"We urge further witnesses to come forward or anyone who recognises the description of this man."
