Teens smash up phone boxes and bus stops in Christmas rampage

Phone boxes, bus stops and digital information signs have been targeted by vandals across Liverpool city centre over two days.

Dramatic images show damage caused to installations across the city on Sunday December 18 and Monday December 19. More than half a dozen phone boxes had their doors and windows smashed in outside St John’s Market while digital information screens in Clayton Square had also been targeted, it is thought, by teenagers.

The two BT digital information hubs - which are being installed to replace outdated phone boxes throughout the city - were seen wrapped in tape and blocked off by orange plastic bollards on Tuesday afternoon, while glass from damaged phone boxes was left strewn across the pavement near St John’s. Damage was also done to bus stop signs in Queen Square.
