A COUNCIL has appealed for help tracking down vandals who wrecked flower beds near a town centre.
Stockton Borough Council said police had been asked to look out for those responsible for damaging the displays next to the Splash leisure centre, in Church Road.
The displays, which have been taken away for replanting after the flowers were ripped out, were created by staff from the council's Care For Your Area team.
The council said security camera footage would be used to identify vandals.
Council officers will fine anyone removing items from the displays, as well as reporting people to police.
Councillor Steve Nelson said: "It is such a shame that there has been some minor problems with a small number of individuals who are spoiling the displays for everyone else to enjoy."
Anyone with information on the vandalism is asked to call (01642) 391959.
