POLICE are appealing for information after vandals were filmed attacking a Waddle of Worcester penguin.
The statue, Starlit Journey, was attacked by two people on Bromwich Parade at around 1am on Tuesday (August 20).
CCTV footage showed one person breaking the penguin off of its plinth while another filmed on a mobile phone.
The incident happened on the same night as two more attacks on other statues on Bromwich Parade.
Sergeant Sam Mott said: "I appreciate the footage does not give a clear image of the two suspects, but I ask that anyone comes forward with any information if they recognise their clothing or mannerisms; or if they saw two people in the area heading towards Bromwich Parade at the time of the incident.
"The footage shows one person filming the damage being caused and perhaps you have seen this footage being shared somewhere.
"This incident has brought great upset to so many people in our community, any information you have may help us find those responsible.
"If you have any information please email sam.mott@westmercia.police.uk"
Alternatively, information can be anonymously shared with the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
