TWO yobs caused criminal damage to a children’s play area in West Dorset.

Police have now issued a photo appeal of the two suspects they want to speak to in relation to the incident.

“Anyone who can help identify either of the two people pictured should contact me on 101.

“All calls will be treated in strict confidence.”
