Police are appealing for witnesses after vandals attacked the St Mary’s community bus.

A group of up to six youths were seen kicking the side of the blue bus and throwing breeze blocks in the early hours of Easter Sunday.

They were chased away but a smaller group returned with bikes some 20 minutes later.

Lights, mirrors and windscreen wipers were damaged.

The group also forced the door open and entered the vehicle, which was parked behind Springfield Court.

The bus has been vandalized up to 10 times over the past year.

Anyone with information is asked to contact St Mary’s police station on 01720 422444.
