Two Suffolk men have been found guilty of damaging a travel firm's vehicles. 

Adrian Ling, 63, of Woodside, Beccles, and Daniel Garrison, 34, of Danforth Drive, Woodbridge, were charged with conspiring to commit criminal damage to property belonging to Goldline Travel between December 2012 and November 2019 and damaging company vehicles. 

The men previously denied the allegation.  

Ling has also denied four offences of having an air rifle with intent to commit criminal damage between 2013 and 2019. 

They have been found guilty on all counts.

It has been alleged that during a campaign of violence by Ling and Garrison against Goldline Travel, which operates a small fleet of coaches and taxis from its premises in Ellough, near Beccles, in north Suffolk, its vehicles were repeatedly vandalised. 

It was also alleged that on several occasions, taxis were shot at while picking up and carrying fares. 

Ling started working with Goldline in 2008 as a mechanic and was later sacked by its owner, Ian Trussler, in 2012. 

While giving evidence in September, Mr Trussler claimed that between 2013 and 2017, about £300,000 in damage was caused to his company's vehicles. 

Prosecutor Andrew Thompson claimed that Ling, who was convicted of stealing diesel from Goldline but subsequently acquitted on appeal, started the vendetta following his dismissal, while Garrison allegedly joined the conspiracy in 2016.
