A councillor has vowed to bring ‘mindless’ Chinatown vandals ‘before the courts’ after the area’s iconic pagoda was smashed last night. The structure will now be closed while repairs are carried out.
Safety fences were also smashed in the assault between 1am and 3am this morning (Tuesday, June 21), the council city centre spokesperson Pat Karney said. He went on to confirm that four ornamental statues were stolen, which were imported originally from China.
The Manchester Evening News understands two have been recovered, but two remain missing. Now, Coun Karney says officers will be working with cops to haul the thugs before a judge.
