A FORMER holiday park in Walton that is set for huge developments was targeted by yobs and trashed in a weekend raid.

Vandals broke into the old Martello Caravan Park site, off Kirby Road.

The site is now an active building site after closing at the end of last year, and is surrounded by a giant industrial fence.

But that did not deter the crooks, who caused thousands of pounds of damage.

They targeted the temporary offices set up to manage the development. When they could not get through a locked door, they smashed through the wall next to it to get into the offices.
