Boy arrested for pulling heads off flowers
A BOY pulled heads off flowers at Hailsham War Memorial.
A boy was seen climbing onto the memorial and damaging flowers.
PCSO Alison Bond and a colleague asked him to stop.
She said: 'He was told to stop doing it but he continued to do it.'
A boy was arrested and charged with criminal damage.
PCSO Bond added 'One of my objectives as a PCSO is to stop anti-social behaviour and prevent it before it happens.'
A police spokeswoman added: 'There are times when childish exuberance can lead to anti-social behaviour which in turn can lapse into criminal offences being committed.'
She added: 'On most occasions by speaking with the children and advising them, the majority of the children do take notice.
'However, in some cases, such as this one, a small minority of children seem to think they are under no obligation to behave and in these cases more positive action will be taken.'
