Watch: 'Disgusting' vandalism of owl sanctuary

Vandals have destroyed a block of toilets which were being used by employees and visitors of an owl sanctuary in Ebbw Vale.

Across two separate incidents, all the toilets and mirrors were smashed rendering the facility unsafe for use.

Patricia Webb, co-owner of the sanctuary, said it will cost about £10,000 to replace the toilet block.

Luckily no damage was done to the owl sanctuary itself and no birds were harmed.

Gwent Police said the "mindless acts of vandalism" have had a negative impact on the community.
