They wrote: ‘Upon our attendance shortly after the call, the youths had gone but the damage was clear.

‘They’ve ripped toilets from the walls damaging the entire piping system, broken the door brackets to each entrance and smashed the toilet roll holders from the walls before filling all drains with paper and attempting to set fire to it.

‘This random act of madness from these youths are sure to cost Winchester City Council hundreds if not thousands of pounds of damage.’
