Police Investigate Vandalism of Christmas Lights in Suffolk

Suffolk police are conducting a manhunt for masked vandals responsible for a series of Christmas lights vandalism incidents across five villages, including Combs, Great Finborough, Onehouse, Stanningfield, and Battisford, between December 5 and 6. At least 11 separate attacks have been reported, involving the cutting of decorative wires, theft of light projectors, and damage to inflatable figures, notably an inflatable Santa Claus. CCTV footage has captured one suspect in a balaclava and a North Face jacket, while another individual was seen wearing a light-colored cap and t-shirt. The vandalism has caused emotional distress and financial loss to residents who decorate their homes for the festive season. PC Simon Lant expressed concern over the 'mindless vandalism' that has deprived communities of their holiday spirit, urging anyone with information to come forward. No arrests have been made as the investigation continues.
