SEARCH IS ON FOR INTRUDERS AT TOWN'S SWIMMING POOL

Tendring District Council (TDC) officers are working with Police in a bid to track down intruders who broke into Frinton and Walton Swimming Pool.

Those responsible left empty-handed but caused some minor damage at the site in Walton.

A staffroom window was smashed, an attempt was made to break another window and a crack was discovered in the fire doors.

Martin Webb, TDC's Pools Manager, said that CCTV footage of the incident has been handed over to Police officers.

"The Council takes this type of incident very seriously and hopefully those responsible will be tracked down with the help of the CCTV pictures," he said.

"Nothing was taken and fortunately the damage was fairly minor and there was no disruption to the services provided to residents at the site."

Mr Webb said that Council staff ensured that the building was quickly boarded up and made secure for the night.

The incident took place at around 11pm on Thursday September 17.

Anyone who has any information on who is responsible is asked to contact the Police.
