A father and daughter have been left "heartbroken" after a Halloween display that took weeks to put together was vandalised.
Michael Cook found out his Halloween garden display in Lowestoft was vandalised after he received a call from a neighbour who had called the police.
The 40-year-old, an ambulance technician who lives on Denmark Road, checked his camera footage showing a woman on his property damaging the display on Monday at about noon.
It has left his eight-year-old daughter "devastated and heartbroken".

Mr Cook added: "Luckily my daughter was at the park at the time, to see someone acting like that in the garden could cause psychological damage.
"It probably only cost about £60 to put together but the money isn’t the point.”
The neighbour, who called the police after seeing the woman vandalise the display, said: "I saw her behaving antisocially before checking again to see her trashing Michael's garden."
Police were contacted on multiple occasions regarding the incident, but they have currently closed the case due to insufficient evidence, and no arrests have been made.
