Vandalism at the Council of Europe Garden in Gzira last night has been condemned by the local council.
The council said in a statement it condemned the "cowardly, abusive and illegal" acts which saw benches, lights and playing equipment destroyed.
It said that, unfortunately, this was not an isolated incident and several acts of vandalism had taken place at this garden in the past months.
It appealed to anyone who might have information on the case to pass this on to the authorities.
The council promised to continue working with the forces of law and order to strengthen supervision for this to become more effective and frequent.
