An historic canal barge at an industrial museum in Leicestershire has been damaged by vandals.
The Joseph Wilkes Barge, a popular attraction at Moira Furnace, was targeted between 4pm Saturday July 12 and 11am the next day.
The barge's engine and accelerator pump were damaged in the attack.
Police community support officer Ben Mason said today: "This is needless damage to a popular attraction.
"We would like to speak to anyone who saw any suspicious activity at the Moira Furnace over the weekend."
Officers have been carrying out foot patrols in the area, and the barge itself is now secured.
Contact Pcso Mason on 101 or Crimestoppers, which is anonymous, on 0800 555 111.
