A crow is believed to be behind attacks which have resulted in 20 cars being vandalised.

The bird caused the vehicles to lose their windscreen wipers at an office in Essex, with staff now covering their wipers with towels and blankets to thwart the animal, which has been named George.

They have even taken to putting plastic owls in the area in a bid to discourage the crow.

Amanda Bhavani, who works in the area, said the team are hoping for a peaceful solution to the problem.

Amanda said: ''He has attacked about 20 cars and, even though we have tried to shoo him away, he will come back as soon as your back is turned.

''We are looking for a long-term solution just to deter George. We want to keep him and his friends here, but this is becoming a bit of a problem.''

The RSPB suggest that the bird could be reacting to its own reflection or it could be attracted to the rubber itself.
