Vandals run amok in allotments near Lancaster

The results of vandalism at allotments in Halton

Vandals have caused huge damage to allotments near Lancaster in what police described as "callous behaviour".

Sheds were flattened, locks broken on shed doors, shed doors ripped off, shed windows smashed, crops destroyed, numerous 50 gallon water butts which were intended to feed crops over the summer months, knocked over and emptied, and raspberry plants cut out at Halton Allotments.

A police spokesperson said: "This is callous behaviour and one which has had a severe effect on the owners of the property concerned, many of whom have been working on their plots for a number of years."

The vandalism occurred over a number of evenings, from Wednesday March 15 to 18, during the hours of darkness.

If you have seen anyone you think may have been involved, please email 7892@lancashire.police.uk or call police on 101.
