VANDALS have pulled metal grilles from chapel walls, smashed six panes of glass and overturned benches at Hereford Crematorium.

The incidents happened over the weekend of June 9/10 and follow a number of criminal damage incidents at the Crematorium in past weeks. This has resulted in security patrols being stepped up and a number of youths being escorted from the grounds.

Anyone who sees suspicious activity in the area or knows who is responsible for the damage should contact Hereford Police on 08457 444888.
