Shocking CCTV footage has emerged of a man smearing poo across the windows of a restaurant.
Staff at the Caribbean eatery Saint Smokeys' BBQ House in Canterbury discovered the disgusting mess as they arrived for work. They watched CCTV footage back and were astonished to see the suspect spreading faeces across the business at around 1.30am. Kent Police said a 45-year-old man has since been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.
And the owners of the eatery were astonished. Stevie Bradshaw, 36, who runs the restaurant with husband Luke and her father-in-law said: “We were really shocked, disgusted and confused as to why anybody would do that anywhere - let alone to us. When our staff informed us when they first arrived, it was not nice.

Workers watched CCTV footage back and were astonished at the suspect's behaviour (Luke Bradshaw / SWNS)“They had to clean the windows and the guy deliberately smeared it into the lock so it meant unlocking the door was difficult because it was covered in poo. It was really upsetting. It took them half of the morning to make sure they had disinfected and cleaned thoroughly. They had to stop what they were doing in the shop to do that.”
A police spokesman said: “Officers investigating reported damage to a business and street furniture in St George's Place, Canterbury in the early hours of Wednesday, April 10 have arrested a 45-year-old man on suspicion of criminal damage. He remains in custody while enquiries into the incident continue.”
