This in from the police, in their own words, Ed


Police are appealing for help to identify the person or people responsible for damage to locked containers on Ryde beach.

These containers belong to a deckchair hire company and are used to store the chairs. Hundreds of pounds worth of damage has been caused.

It is believed most of the damaged was caused between Friday, June 27 and Sunday, June 29.

The owner of the deckchair hire company said:

“In addition to my financial loss the condition which the containers are left in after the damage could pose a hazard to innocent beachgoers. I do not want an innocent person to be hurt because of another person’s thoughtless actions.”
