A large flower pot has been used to smash an Audi driver's windscreen.

Members of the public were shocked to see the parked black car damaged in Auckland Road, Tunbridge Wells, over the weekend.

The heavy pot was left upside down on the bonnet with soil scattered over the car.

The passenger side of the car's windscreen was heavily smashed.

Ollie Brock, who snapped a picture of the damage near the Allotment Pub, shared the curious incident online with residents.

He said: "It's not my car or my house. Its on the corner of Auckland Road, St James, I saw it on my way to the shop.

"My first thought was drunk kids but they could have upset someone I guess, either way a nasty surprise to wake up to."

A note was also left under the windscreen wipers, which had a crime reference number on it and read: "I have reported this to the police, please call them."

Police have been approached for more information.
