PC Alexis Crundwell said, “The play park is very popular with local residents and it is estimated that the damage to the play equipment and tables and benches will be thousands of pounds worth.

“The suspects are likely to have ended up with a fair amount of paint on their clothes and shoes. I would ask any witnesses, or perhaps anyone who noticed people they know with paint-stained clothing, to get in touch.”

Witnesses can email [email protected] or call 101 quoting reference 519 of 22/09.
