Vandals cause damage to Hastings church


Local officers are investigating an incident of vandalism that occurred in the grounds of St John the Evangelist Church, Upper Church Road, Hollington, on Friday February 13 at around 7:45pm.
A Hastings Police spokesperson said: “Three illuminated bollards within the grounds were deliberately damaged, marking the second time in recent months that the church has been targeted in this way. These bollards are expensive to replace, and this repeat damage is understandably causing concern. “After reviewing CCTV, three young males were seen entering the churchyard and causing the damage. Enquiries are ongoing to identify those involved. “If you were in the area at the time, or have any information that may assist our investigation, please contact Sussex Police on 101, quoting reference 0836 of 15/02.”
