We have received a report of a male using a sling shot to shoot at the Fallen memorial Silhouette attached to the gates at the entrance to Eureka Park on Midland Road. This has caused damage to occur to the silhouette, and has also occurred on Remembrance day which will bring a lot of cause for concern within our community. We have been informed that the male had been positioned directly opposite the road across from the memorial gates.

We have completed CCTV enquires within the area, but would also request that any motorists who have travelled along that road between 0930am and 0940am on the 11th November 2026 to please review their respective vehicle dash cameras. We understand that the male has been described as follows:

White Male, aged within his fifties, scrawny build, wearing a black hat and riding a mobility vehicle but also had possession of crutches attached to it.

The investigation is being conducted by PC Murray from your Safer neighbourhood team who has therefore asked for your assistance.

The officer has stated the following:

“Remembrance day is one which we all know as recognition to those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice for the very freedoms we have today. The Remembrance solider silhouette has been created in support of charities such as the Royal British Legion, so it saddens me that someone has been using this as target practice which is totally disrespectful, and would rightly infuriate those within our community. Therefore I would ask for your support in helping me to bring to justice the person responsible for this atrocious act”
