Vandals went on a wrecking spree - smashing a bench, damaging a mud kitchen and tearing up herbs at a childcare nursery.

Police are appealing for information after the senseless destruction at Kid Ease Nursery in Poulton Close, Dover.

It's thought the vandals got into the site by climbing over a fence sometime between 7pm on August 23 and 7.30am on August 27.

They caused around £500 of damage, it's been revealed.

PC Amy Winspear said: "This appears to be reckless behaviour causing damage to many items.

"A bench, mud kitchen, children’s toys and campsite den were damaged, the outside of the air conditioning unit was smashed and herbs were pulled out of the herb garden.

"I’d urge anyone with information to contact police."

Anyone with information should contact PC Amy Winspear at Kent Police by calling 01304 218165 and quoting reference ZY/025395/13.
