Angry builder destroys £40,000 of walls in rage after being only worker on job

An enraged builder destroyed £40,000 worth of walls in a fit of rage after finding he was the only worker to turn up to work.

Owen Powell, 42, of Barry, Wales, was said to be suffering from alcoholism and experiencing a mental breakdown when he destroyed precast concrete walls which had been put up by his colleagues.

The majority of the walls were damaged beyond repair, reports Wales Online. He was eventually caught after his acts of vandalism were captured on CCTV.
