POLICE are appealing for witnesses after criminal damage at a community building.

A band hall in Dorchester has been damaged and officers believe it may have been caused with a BB gun and a football.

Windows of Durnovaria Band Hall on Kings Road in the county town were smashed in two separate incidents last week.

Dorset Police said the first incident was a window that appeared to have been broken by a football.

A second separate incident was recorded a few days later.

Again, windows were smashed, this time the damage was allegedly caused by a BB gun.

Officers said that metal BB pellets were located nearby.

Anyone with information or who saw anything suspicious is being asked to contact Dorset Police on 101 quoting reference number 55160159172.
