Vandals are targeting an allotments in Denbighshire run by volunteers. Police have stepped-up patrols in the Glas Meadows Lane area in response.

A North Wales Police Conwy and Denbigh Rural statement said: "Sadly, we have been receiving an increase in reports of anti-social behaviour and criminal damage at the allotments off Glas Meadows Lane, Denbigh.

"These allotments are run by volunteers and countless hours of hard work have gone into maintaining these and in turn they do so much good for the local community.

"We have increased patrols in the area and would encourage anybody who sees anybody causing damage or ASB in this area to report it to us on 101 or 999 if an emergency. Thank You #NWP #Denbigh #OpRestore."

Have I time travelled to another age, or am I dreaming?
