Vandalism: More than 500 of damage caused. Alva Glen Heritage Trust1
An 8ft “cyber gong” musical structure has been damaged in a spate of “intolerable” vandalism.
The cemented support legs of the aluminium tube in Alva Glen, Clackmannanshire, snapped off after being pushed by vandals. More than 500 of damage was caused to the gong, used by children to make musical notes, sometime between October 2 and Monday.
Community group Alva Glen Heritage Trust said it received a report of possible vandalism from a member of its board. It said: “The report was investigated yesterday by two trust board members and (they) found that one of the cyber gongs had been ripped from its position and thrown to the ground.
“This has been removed from (the) site to a place of security. The matter has now been reported to the police.
“The glen has experienced a high level of vandalism over the past few months and has now reached an intolerable level when installations that were put in place to be enjoyed by the children and families are being wantonly destroyed by a minority element frequenting the glen.”
Police are appealing to the public for more information. Please contact the police on 101 or, to remain anonymous, Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111.
