Between 13:15 on Saturday 19 May and 08:30 on Sunday 20 May, damage was also caused to a portacabin and snack van trailer within the Vale Recreation Grounds.

While these incidents are not being linked they have all occurred within a short time frame and within a close geographical location. 

Other recent incidents have included spates of criminal damage in the north of the island as well as around Mont Arrive and the Odeon car park in St Peter Port.
