Shocking CCTV footage shows the disgusting moment a man smeared poo across the windows of a restaurant.

       Staff at the Caribbean eatery Saint Smokeys' BBQ House in Canterbury made the grim discovery as they arrived for work on Wednesday (10/4).

       Workers watched CCTV footage back and were stunned 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.

       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.

       “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.”
