MONMOUTHSHIRE'S Conservative parliamentary candidate has vowed not to be silenced after a string of attacks.
A number of poster sites promoting David Davies, placed within private properties across the county, have been torn down and stolen.
This is an illicit offence and classed as criminal damage, which could lead to prosecution.
Commenting on the series of incidents, Mr Davies said: "This is completely unacceptable behaviour and cannot be tolerated in a democratic society.
"My principles and values are shared by thousands of people across the whole of Monmouthshire.
"The opposition parties won't want to hear it. But I will continue to stand up to the Labour Welsh Government. Whether that's speaking out on the blanket 20mph speed limit or slashing NHS budgets to fund the creation of more Senedd Members.
"Also, not forgetting Labour's assault on Monmouthshire farmers in trying to force them to give up land for tree planting.
"I will not be silenced. I will continue to stand up for the true interests of Monmouthshire."
