A popular restaurant has been vandalised after rocks were thrown at its door and window.
The owners of CrabShack, located on Marine Parade, in Worthing, discovered the damage this morning (June 11).
In a post on social media, the restaurant said: "Not what you want to come into on a Thursday morning.
"If anyone saw anything please let us know.
"Whichever ‘clever’ person did this threw rocks at it [the door] but only managed to get through the first layer of safety glass.
"They then had a go at our window so there is two large pieces of glass that we need to replace."
