Cornwall Slip n Slide 'absolutely distraught' following 'criminal damage'
They've shared the incident on social media overnight
The team at Avalanche Slip and Slide near St Austell say they're 'absolutely distraught' as they claim it's been slashed with a knife in a number of places.
Over the summer, they've taken on nearly two dozen local school or college students - something they say they're 'very proud' to have done.
'As a family business we are absolutely distraught'
On social media, the team said: "Sometime between dusk and dawn last night, we believe two people caused approx 80 metres of damage by a knife/sharp object to our slides in around 15 different sections.
"This has left our slip and slide operation unusable for the foreseeable future as we look into repair costs.
"As a family business we are absolutely distraught as to why someone would want to go out of their way to cause this criminal damage.
"We have created a wonderful new activity in the St Austell area, that so many have enjoyed and have been very proud of employing 23 local school, or college students this summer.
"If anyone has any idea as to who would have done this we would be grateful for any information."
We have also contacted Devon and Cornwall Police for more information on this case.
