POLICE are seeking any information on senseless vandalism at the newly built Ballam Park East Pavilion on 24 February, the day after it was opened.

said more than $15,000 worth of damage was caused during the vandalism. “This is incredibly frustrating for council and the clubs who have worked together to deliver a sporting and community mecca at one of our region’s most popular locations,” Cr Hampton said in a statement. “We have to stamp out this kind of anti-social behaviour and those respon-
sible will face the full force of the law.” The pavilion was funded by ratepayers at a cost of $2.77 million and federal government taxpayers contributed $300,000 towards the project. Anyone who witnessed the vandalism should call Frankston Police on 9784 5555 or council with any information that will help identify those responsible for the damage.
