POLICE are trying to find out who took and damaged a fibreglass animal displayed as part of Donkey Parade, a charitable art project.
It was ripped from its plinth outside Trafalgar Court, Admiral Park, and found in nearby First Tower Lane, St Peter Port.
The Crime Prevention Panel has offered a £200 reward for information leading to the conviction of those responsible.
Inspector Trevor Coleman said some might refer to the incident as ‘high jinx’, but it was mean-spirited and, depending on the circumstances, could result in a prosecution for theft or criminal damage.
* If anyone witnessed the incident or has any information about it, please call police headquarters on 725111 – or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

my youngest was so looking forward to going to look for these donkeys and take pictures of them, when you think of the money and time and effort that people have put into this project, its totally soul destroying, who ever you are have the courage to own up and help fix this donkey that you broke, what a shame that now the other ones are going to be moved, very sad, they do project`s like this even and london and people dont go round vandalising in an inner city, so why does anyone feel the need to do it here!

More night time trouble almost certainly caused by smokers!
Just take a spin along the front after midnight on a weekend and see them staggering home under the influence of cigarettes
The sooner the draconian measures on those evil purveyors of death are brought in the sooner this
sort of vandalism will cease

Disgraceful.
