Youths blamed for school damage

Police are blaming a gang of youths for vandalising a primary school.

Flowers and plants from the vegetable patch were uprooted, glass bottles were smashed and pupils' toys thrown into the pond.

The attack, at Marden County Primary School, just north of Hereford, happened in the early hours of Saturday morning, police said.

The head of an ornamental concrete teddy bear was also knocked off and taken away by the offenders.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
