Appeal to hunt down vandals who damaged football pitches in Sandy
Sandy Town Council is appealing for help to track down the culprits who damaged football pitches in Sunderland Road.
The Sunderland Road recreation area, run by the town council, offers facilities including full-sized football grass pitches as well as junior pitches, mini soccer grass pitches and cricket pitches.
It’s believed the damage was caused in the early hours of Wednesday (April 22) between 1.20am and 1.28am. A white truck was caught on CCTV.
Repairs to the damage included replacing posts where the originals were driven into by the vehicle. There was also tyre mark damage where the vehicle was driven over the pitches.
The council said: “We are particularly asking anyone in the vicinity of St Neots Road/Engayne Avenue through to the village hall, and Berwick Way, where the vehicle was seen travelling after the incident, to come forward if they have relevant information.”
A spokesperson for the council added: “This has been reported to Bedfordshire Police, we would ask that anyone with any information or CCTV/doorbell footage in the vicinity contacts the police directly.”
You can call the council on 01767 681491 or email [email protected]
All information will be treated in the strictest confidence.
