PC Elise Beckham, of Bexhill Neighbourhood Police Team, said: “ We believe the garden was vandalised sometime between Thursday, April 21 and Saturday, April 23 - St George’s Day.

“The users of the centre are very upset that their garden project, which involved lots of time and money, has been subjected to such mindless criminal damage.”

The garden is owned by a charity. Four large terracotta plant pots were smashed and a large cut was made in a poly-tunnel greenhouse, causing £150 worth of damage. A yellow garden hose pipe and reel was also stolen from within the greenhouse.

Anyone who saw anything suspicious or has information regarding this incident is asked to call Sussex Police on 0845 60 70 999, quoting serial 1506 of 23/04, or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
