Royal Mail: Police alerted as postboxes painted again

Royal Mail have alerted police after postboxes in Kent were vandalised just six months after they were spray-painted like Mr Blobby and Creme Eggs.

Residents of Temple Hill, Dartford, found their iconic red Royal Mail pillar boxes painted to resemble popular chocolate bars Wispa, Mars and Twirl.

Royal Mail confirmed to the BBC it was “aware of the vandalism” and had carried out “initial enquiries” to understand the extent of the damage.

“We’ll be carrying out further investigations and have been in contact with the police,” they added in statement.
