Appeal over TT fans who destroyed cow troughs

An urgent appeal for information's been issued after vandalism by TT fans yesterday.

Witnesses say more than a dozen men with Northern Irish accents jumped over a fence near the K Tree, into a field with resting cows.

They took the cows' troughs and lit a barbecue in them, destroying the troughs and stressing the animals - as well as leaving a mess behind.

The matter's been reported to police, although the farmer says he won't press charges if the troughs are replaced.

If you have any information you can contact police on 631212.
