TEENAGE vandals are believed responsible for a wrecking spree that happened just hours after hundreds of people enjoyed Halloween in Hillworth Park, Devizes on Tuesday evening.

The town council's parks department and volunteers stored props in a locked tennis court after the spooky fun ended but were devastated to find a gang had climbed over the fence and trashed it all.

Town council direct services manager Sarah Williams said: "The parks team was very upset. It was a very sad end to what had been a wonderful night with more than 500 people enjoying the fun.

"We are going to have to review security after future events." Last year vandals struck in a similar way after a Christmas event in the park.
