YOBS targeted the route 89 bus twice in one week causing hundreds of pounds worth of damage.

The buses, which operate between Slade Green and Lewisham, were vandalised in broad daylight and, as part of the Shop A Yob campaign, we are helping the police identify the vandals.

One youngster was travelling along Prince of Wales Road, in Blackheath, on May 21, and was captured on CCTV before and after the destruction.

Our sequence of pictures shows him looking at the camera before pulling it out of the wall of the bus.

The camera recorded the time as it was disconnected at 4.15pm.

The cost to replace the camera is £350.

A week later, a teenager boarded the bus on Shooters Hill Road at 9.49am.

Within seconds of sitting down on the top deck, he started to scrawl graffiti over the window of the bus.

Clearly not content, he continued to write on a side panel and then on a seat before getting off at Shooters Hill.
