Owner of the display which was targeted by vandals in the CCTV, Emma Brooks said: “We don’t even have children, well our son is age 18.
"We just put the pot out with a lovely message for children to help themselves but hoping they would share and leave some for others.
"Such a shame the few ruin it for the majority as we won’t do it again."
