Pictures show cabs damaged by jailed Beccles man Adrian Ling

Adrian Ling, 63, of Woodside, Beccles, was jailed for eight years at Ipswich Crown Court last Friday after carrying out 83 acts of criminal damage against Goldline Travel's fleet between 2013 and 2019. 

The acts started in 2012, after Ling, who worked for Goldline Travel as a mechanic, was sacked after he was accused of stealing diesel from the company in 2012.

Pictures from Suffolk police show the destruction caused by Ling, who started the "revenge campaign" alongside Daniel Garrison, 35, of Danforth Drive, Woodbridge. 

Windows of taxis were left smashed during the violent spree. Ipswich Crown Court heard cabs were shot at with air guns while picking up and carrying fares.

Paint was thrown over some of the company's fleet, which operates from its premises in Ellough.

Other attacks also saw tyres slashed and vehicles dowsed in corrosive substances.

Prosecutor Andrew Thompson told the court it was thought the damage totalled £250,000, although this is disputed.

Garrison, who was also found guilty by Judge Martyn Levett, was bailed pending a pre-sentence report.
