“The hard work in the last 18 months of the gardening club has been wrecked in a night. It is pathetic. It is a shame.

“It’s just a few idiots who spoil it for everyone else.

“We will find them on the CCTV. I would rather those responsible come down and apologise than get a criminal record, but if we have to go down that route we will.”

The incident took place between 8.15pm on July 16 and 7.30am on July 17.

PCSO Oli Boardman of Fylde police urged anyone with details to come forward.
