Overview
- Nottinghamshire Police opened a criminal-damage investigation into the Eakring Road memorial and asked witnesses to call 101 quoting incident 88 of 22 October or contact Crimestoppers.
- Wooden silhouettes of soldiers were snapped, poppies were kicked over, and a framed photograph of a local veteran was damaged.
- Veterans discovered the destruction on their way to a monthly breakfast club and residents quickly cleaned the site.
- A JustGiving page set up by community worker Claire Stoneman raised more than £1,000 within a day to buy materials for repairs.
- No arrests have been reported as the community plans to rebuild and continue maintaining the display.
