North Yorkshire Moors Railway carriage damaged by vandals in Pickering
The heritage carriage's handbrake had also been released, causing it to roll about one foot from where it had been safely left
Police are hunting for vandals who caused around £700 worth of damage to a heritage railway carriage owned by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
It happened in the yard at Pickering Station between 4.30pm on Friday 13 November and 4pm on Sunday 15 November 2020.
There was damage throughout the carriage including:
- a chair that had been knocked over and the leg was broken
- broken and smashed lampshades on some of the tables
- first aid and eye wash kits broken into and thrown on the floor
- two toilets were left blocked
Worryingly, the handbrake had also been released on the carriage which meant it had rolled about one foot from where it had been safely left.
Police enquiries have been ongoing to trace suspects, including trawling through CCTV in the area and forensic examinations at the scene.
