Pete Butcher, West Mercia Police spokesman, added: "Police have been
unable to establish at this stage if the pink brushwork constitutes
criminal damage or whether it is some form of prank or publicity stunt
by persons unknown."

He said two men in overalls and carrying ladders and equipment painted
the pub in Church Lane about 0600 GMT on Tuesday.

They left a receipt under the door, which contained false details, he
said.

It will cost several thousands pounds to correct said police who have
appealed for information.

Mr and Mrs Smith, who have run the pub for six years, are planning to
return the pub to its original black and white state as soon as
possible.

Someone doesn't know the difference between an invoice and a receipt?
