Vandals have caused more than £1,600 worth of damage by setting fire to public recycling bins in Lancaster.

Lancaster City Council has released images of burned-out bins on St George's Quay.

A council spokesperson said: "These will now need to be replaced using funds which could have been spent on other facilities which are important to our communities.

"Tetra Pak banks on our recycling site at Upper St Leonardgate car park have also been vandalised by fire."

If you see suspicious behaviour taking place around any of public bins or recycling banks or have any information about any of the latest incidents, please contact the police on 101.
