Farm manager Allen Innes inspects the damage at East Seaton Fruit Farm, Arbroath.

Vandals have caused hundreds of pounds worth of damage at an Angus farm.

The teenagers even took pictures of themselves while climbing up polytunnels at East Seaton Farm, Arbroath.

The main perpetrators have been tracked down following a social media appeal and their families have been spoken to.

The weekend damage was caused in the latest in a series of attacks at the family business and farm manager Allen Innes said it has to stop.

He said polytunnels have previously been ripped up by knives and set on fire and polytunnel door handles have been pulled out of the ground and used as weapons.

“We have trouble every year and it has got to stop,” said Mr Innes.
