HUNDREDS of pounds of damage has been caused to a parking machine in Welland.

On two occasions between 5pm on Thursday (October 20) and Sunday (October 23), the offender has approached the car park about 200m east of Gullet Quarry in Castlemorton Common and vandalised the machine.

Only minor damage was caused on the first attempt but approximately £1,000 of damage was caused to the machine at the second attempt after a firework was pushed into it before being set off.

The car park is owned by Malvern Hills Conservators who say it’s going to cost £700 to repair the parking machine.




Anyone with information should contact police on 101 and quote reference number 0227S 231016.
