A HERITAGE railway in Co Down has been targeted by vandals who destroyed a train carriage used for Santa's grotto visits.

The carriage's windows were smashed on Halloween night as volunteers on Downpatrick and County Down Railway were working on public trains.

The attack caused damage worth hundreds of pounds.

A donation fund has been set up for repairs to the carriage.

Anyone with information is being asked to contact police on 101.
