A charity minibus has been completely vandalised with every single window being destroyed in what the charity workers have branded a mindless act.
The minibus is estimated to have been worth £40,000 as it was specially adapted in order to transport children and adults with learning difficulties. Now the vehicle is a ruin, with every window shattered to pieces, and damage sustained to the bonnet, window frames, and front headlights. The minibus had to be towed away on a recovery vehicle to undergo extensive repairs.
A shopkeeper reported the incident which occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning when he witnessed people running away from the scene. It is the second time the charity minibus has come under attack this year as in June, the minibus’s catalytic converter was stolen while it was parked outside of a day centre.
The incident occurred two days after the minibus had been moved from its usual parking spot outside a residential home to a position behind the charity’s head quarters. The charity say they will be looking for a new and safer spot in which to keep the minibus after its repaired as they fear it would be targeted again, or worse, set alight, should they return it to the same position.
The police are urging anyone with information regarding the vandalism attack on the charity minibus in Ilford to get in touch.
