Witness appeal following damage at A36 memorial
Main article content
We are appealing for information following repeated damage at a memorial on the A36 at Steeple Langford.
The memorial site, which was created by a family to remember two children who died following a road traffic collision, is based on the side of the road.
Over the past few months we have received two separate reports of criminal damage at the site.
The first was in April, and the second occurred some time between 11 and 23 July.
PC Ruth Wright said: “These incidents, where flowers and memorial items have been removed and thrown around, have caused an incredible amount of distress for the family.
“This is a site which obviously holds a huge sentimental value for the family, and is something they have created to remember these two children who so tragically died.
“We are carrying out enquiries and would urge anyone with information to please get in touch.”
If you know anything about the damage please call 101, quoting crime reference 54220077739. Alternatively you can call CrimeStoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
