Vandals who targeted the two Coghill footbridges at Wick s riverside have been branded mindless idiots .
Allan Farquhar, vice-chairperson of the Royal Burgh of Wick Community Council, counted at least a dozen mesh panels that he said had either been kicked or struck with a heavy object.
A handrail was also broken, and that too may have been deliberate.
Mt Farquhar warned that further damage to the popular crossings could ultimately lead to them being closed to the public.

Vandalism to a footbridge at Wick riverside has been described as very disappointing by one of the team of volunteers who helped upgrade the popular crossing during the summer.
John Bogle, secretary of Wick Paths Group, warned that further damage to the main Coghill bridge could lead to it being closed for safety reasons and he urged anyone with information to tell the police.
