Police in Angus are investigating a “frenzied” vandalism attack at two prominent attractions in Arbroath.
The Signal Tower Museum and Pleasureland both had several windows smashed by rocks and missiles between Sunday night and Monday morning.
A total of 10 panes of glass at the Signal Tower and three large windows at the rear of Pleasureland were broken.
Pleasureland proprietor James O’Brien, who runs an arcade and indoor funfair, said the repair bill would run into thousands of pounds.
He said: “The windows at the back of the building sit between 10ft and 15ft off the ground.
“I counted the impact points on the three windows and there were 30 on two panes and 20 on another.
“Planks of wood were also used as missiles in what I can only describe as a frenzied attack.
“Some of the stones were very large and must have been collected from the shore.
“This has not been done by young kids it must have been done with someone with a bit of muscle.
“We have had to carry out a major clean-up operation so the funfair can open at the weekend. The repair bill could be as much as £3,000.”
Mr O’Brien said the attack happened between the attraction closing at 9pm on Sunday and staff arriving at 11am on Monday.
He added: “It is absolute mindless vandalism. I think the perpetrators need psychiatric help.
“It’s such a cowardly action, to do something like this in the dead of night and then run away. I don’t know what they get out of it at all.”
The Signal Tower vandalism could have taken place between 5pm on Sunday and 7.40am on Monday.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101.
