‘Two years of work gone’: vandals torch community project in York

Vandals torched a community project in York which took volunteers two years to build, the group’s chair said.

They also wrenched a bench from its footing and tore away planter boards during the incident at the Foss Fairy Trail, along the banks of the River Foss across from Huntington Road, on Sunday (August 4).

The ‘bug house’ – a structure intended for housing insects – was allegedly set alight at around 3pm by a group of youths, North Yorkshire Police said.

Firefighters were called to the scene and extinguished the blaze.
