Three separate, but possibly connected, acts of vandalism and anti-social behaviour once again occurred in Titchfield last night.

Around 7pm a large group of youngsters were, it is reported on social media, abusive to residents and some Christmas trees and lights damaged in West Street.

Also, at some time during the evening Titchfield Primary School suffered a catalogue of mindless vandalism.

The school’s outbuildings were broken into and sports equipment was taken.

Roof tiles smashed, paint was thrown, pupils welly boots thrown around and damage done to some doors.

The police have been informed.

And thirdly last evening many Facebook members were reporting a single young girl knocking on doors in the village and singing ‘We Wish you a Merry Christmas’.

She appears to be trying to peer into the house. But when challenged she ran off to a waiting vehicle.
