Memorial trees and benches were amongst the items damaged at Watermead Country Park at the weekend.
It’s believed that the suspects have entered the park at the Wanlip Road, Syston entrance and made their way to John Merrick Lake where they caused significant amounts of damage to property.
Enquiries are ongoing into the incident which is believed to have taken place between the evening of Saturday 11 April and morning of Sunday 12 April.
Disabled benches, memorial trees and bins were damaged during the incident.
