Vandals Set Fire To Equipment In West Belfast Park
Significant damage has been caused to equipment at the Falls Park in west Belfast.
Police in Belfast hit out at the thugs and issued a warning to parents to "know where your kids are".
Damage was caused to the outdoor gym equipment and the rubber flooring was also set on fire.
A PSNI spokesperson said: "This behaviour is totally unacceptable and negatively affects the local community and the quality of life of the people who use this gym. That this happened on a school night also causes us to again say, 'PARENTS, DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR KIDS ARE.'
"We will continue to invest time in dealing with this problem and use the necessary and appropriate criminal justice solutions.
"If you have any information about this damage please contact police on 101 quoting reference 486 of 06/09/2017 or if you wish to remain anonymous please contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
