TWO shops in the High Street were vandalised within 24 hours of each other this week. Mappin & Webb jewellers had its awning badly damaged after the canopy was pulled from its brackets.

And clothes shop Nautilus, situated a few doors further down the High Street, had its front window smashed by vandals for the third time in four months. Mappin & Webb manager Robert Read said the damage would cost about £1,000 to repair.

‘We can’t work out if it was a lorry or individual,’ he said. ‘But it’s a real pain. Not only was it criminally damaged, but it was left in a dangerous position, just hanging down where someone could have walked into it and seriously hurt themselves.’
