Car wash written off after vandals’ battering
A CAR wash has been wrecked by vandals who are thought to have used a large vehicle as a battering ram.
Police launched an investigation after the culprits caused thousands of pounds of damage at the Shell garage in Southampton Road, Hythe.
Motorists arrived at the garage yesterday to find the car wash closed and part of the equipment twisted out of shape.
The vandals struck after the garage closed on Monday night.
Police are hoping that the culprits were seen by people living in nearby homes, including a block of flats at the junction of Southampton Road and Jones Lane.
The car wash will have to be scrapped and replaced, which is likely to take about three weeks.
