'All of the Heras fencing outside a shop has been bent, too. I would like to know, is there no camera footage?
'It's mindless.'
Vandalism on High Street, Rhyl (Image: Paul Fairhurst) North Wales Police's inquiries are underway, with PC Charlotte Hughes, from its Neighbourhood Policing Team, investigating the matter.
She has appealed for anyone with relevant information to contact the force via its website or by calling 101, quoting reference number C085854.
T/Inspector Ben Garnett added: 'Denbighshire County Council's Streetscene team work extremely hard to maintain the town of Rhyl, providing vibrant colour in our planters.
'It's saddening that these acts of damage risk the planters being removed from the town centre.'
