Two people have been arrested in connection with an incident at a leisure centre.

In the early hours of Saturday 19 September, damage was caused to multiple areas within the premises, including the roof above the children’s soft play area and the slide.

The staff canteen was also flooded, food products from the café were strewn across the floor, and an emergency stair chair was removed from its bag and discarded down the staircase.

The costs for repair and cleaning are estimated to be in excess of £10,000.

Hampshire police confirmed that the two men were arrested on suspicion of burglary other than dwelling with intent to steal and criminal damage to property.
