Charlie Clapham, better known for playing Freddie Roscoe on Hollyoaks, has appealed for help after his family's business was attacked by vandals.
In an Instagram update posted yesterday (December 16), the actor shared video footage of his family's tattoo and piercing parlour seemingly being vandalised in Leicester.
"I'm saddened to share that my family business was attacked and vandalised at 5.30am Monday 12th of December.
"This is the best footage we have, if anyone has any information what so ever on this incident would you please contact @leicestershire_police to help with the investigation - my family and I would greatly appreciate it - please share / repost! #teamkazbah."
In the video, a figure can be seen wearing a hooded jacket and riding a bike outside the shop before returning to apparently throw something at the shop front.
Charlie has helped out at the family-owned parlour Kazbah a lot over the years, even after he began acting.

Speaking previously to The Leicester Mercury about the side job, he said: "I love it and that helped me at the time, because I knew it was always an option to fall back on. My mum still says that if at any point I want to stop and go back then I can do."
