Vandals attack pavilion
Print Article
MINDLESS vandals caused hundreds of pounds of damage at Gourock Park games pavilion.
More than 30 windows were smashed at the George Road clubhouse over the weekend.
Fire extinguishers were set off inside the pavilion then thrown out onto the grass playing fields.
Powder from the extinguishers, for use at electrical fires, looked like smoke and nearby residents called out fire services.
Some of the broken windows had metal reinforcement so considerable force must have been used, said investigating officials.
Parts of equipment, including football nets, were missing and objects had been thrown onto the neighbouring YAC clubhouse where a window was also broken.
The vandals struck on three consecutive days. On Sunday night workmen were there from 7.00 till midnight patching it up.
