PC Russ Skinner of the Isle of Wight Targeted Patrol Team (TPT) said: “At the moment it’s estimated the vandals caused up to £2,000 of damage to the coach. We understand one witness saw what happened and told Holliers hotel staff. I’m appealing for that person to contact police so we can confirm more details to help track down the suspects swiftly.
