Thousands of pounds damage was caused to a church schoolroom when it was vandalised for the third time this year.

Fire extinguishers, tables, chairs and windows were trashed at St Catherine’s Church in Preston, Faversham, over the weekend.

Two youths were discovered inside the schoolroom on Sunday morning and only escaped after breaking a window.

Church warden Rodney Ford said: “This is the third incident of vandalism this year. How do you respond to the increasing level of disruption in this part of Faversham?”
