Shropshire: Ellesmere police appeal over beauty spot vandals

POLICE in Ellesmere have appealed for more information after vandals drove a car through a popular beauty spot.

Reports emerged this week of tyre tracks left on ground in Cremorne Gardens which were blamed on vandals driving in circles on the site, close to The Mere.

Officers from North Shropshire Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT), based in Ellesmere Town Hall, confirmed they have received reports of the damage and are now appealing for information.

They said: “We have been made aware of damage caused overnight in the Cremorne Gardens, Ellesmere.
