“It’ll cost £2,000 to replace the glass.

“We found it when we turned up for work at 8am.

“This is the third time in less than two years that this has happened.

“I’m devastated.

“Times are hard enough for small businesses as it is without this.

“It’s senseless.

“We also know nothing will happen to the culprit, and we will be left to cover the cost of the damage.”

The Met Police have been approached for comment.
