Rural Crime Team Officers are investigating a report of heritage crime at Bronllys Castle.

Graffiti has been etched on to the interior walls of the castle, which classifies as criminal damage.

The incident happened sometime between 10am and 6pm on Saturday, 28 June.

Heritage crime is any unlawful activity which harms historic assets including buildings, monuments, parks, gardens and landscapes.

Some of these assets are protected by specific criminal offences but heritage crime often takes the form of ‘general’ offences such as theft, criminal damage, anti-social behaviour which are equally damaging to historic assets and interfere with the public’s understanding and enjoyment of them.

A spokesperson for the police has said: “If you have information about this incident (Ref: 25000539649) or, something that has happened to a heritage site, you can report it to us online: https://orlo.uk/0W9Vb

“If an incident involving a heritage site is happening now, call us on 999.”
