Attempts were allegedly made to remove the cables and lightning conductor from the roof.
Police are investigating the incident.
Disappointing to find Damage caused to our VHF Aerial overnight. Looks like they were attempting to remove the cables and lightning conductor from the roof. Totally unacceptable behaviour and could have left us with limited comms.
