Huddersfield war memorial vandalised
The statue honours those who lost their lives in the First World War
Police in Huddersfield are investigating, after a statue honouring those who list their lives in the First World War was vandalised.
It happened on Saturday night (3 July), outside the Tolson Memorial Museum on Wakefield Road.
It's thought a group of young people damaged windows in the building around 8pm, before damaging the statue itself.
Inspector Graham Dyson from the Huddersfield Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “The statue marks the bravery of those who fought in the First World War and ended up paying the ultimate price.
"The damage caused to it will undoubtedly cause significant upset and offence in our communities, and we are investigating to both identify and take necessary action against those responsible.
“I would appeal to anyone who has any information about the incident or who saw anyone acting suspiciously at the museum at the time to get in contact.”
