The tailor employed to dress the Peaky Blinders cast has tracked down the teenager who vandalised his family’s Bentley on social media, after the culprit posted selfies sat on its car roof.

Michael Pendlebury, who makes the iconic 1930s suits for the BBC crime show, began the search the day after he discovered his late father’s black Flying Spur trampled on in a car park, with its rear screen cracked.

The businessman noticed the damaged vehicle, which he had locked inside a parking facility near to his boutique tailor in Manchester city centre earlier that day, on his way home from work on March 8 last year.

But instead of contacting the police, the 37-year-old decided to locate the vandal himself by logging onto Instagram and using the car park’s location tag and searching Bentley to refine the results.

He quickly found the incriminating selfies of Jack Simmons, a jobless 18-year-old from Manchester.
