Police are investigating an incident of criminal damage at Victoria Road School, Castletown.
Sometime over the weekend someone set fire to a picnic table. This has caused a considerable amount of damage to the table and could have caused considerable damage to the school itself.
A police spokesman said: ‘The school has become something of a “hang-out” where various articles that could cause danger to pupils are being located in the shelters. Due to this, additional patrols will be focussed on the area to deter individuals from damaging any further property.’
Anyone with any information should call Constable Dave Trevethan at Castletown police station on 822222 or can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
