A community centre in Poole, which has seen repeated break-ins, has been targeted again with two further incidents.

Dorset Police attended the Branksome Community Centre in Recreation Road at around 1.30am on Wednesday 10 February following a report that a window had been smashed at the premises.

CCTV showed three male offenders, described as being aged around 16 to 18, approach the centre at around 1.20am and try to access the front doors before throwing stones at the glass window. One of them then kicked the glass before they all appeared to leave the scene on hearing police arriving.

One of the suspects was wearing a dark jumper with a white Hugo Boss logo across the chest, dark jogging bottoms and trainers.

A second suspect was wearing a thick puffer jacket with two panels of colour at the top and bottom as well as jogging bottoms and trainers.

The third was wearing an open coat with a hooded top that had a colour band and writing across the chest. All three had their hoods up and were wearing baseball caps.

At around 12.50am on Tuesday 16 February Dorset Police received a further report of a break-in at the centre. It was reported that a boarded up window had been broken and access was gained to the premises.

Nothing is believed to have been taken. CCTV enquiries showed two offenders whose clothing matched the descriptions of the first two suspects for the incident on Wednesday 10 February.

Police Constable Cara Bradley, of Poole police, said: “This community facility has been repeatedly targeted, we believe by the same individuals, and we are keen to identify those responsible.

“I would appeal to anyone who has witnessed any suspicious activity in the area, or who has any information that might assist our investigation, to please contact us.

“I would also urge any local residents with home CCTV systems, or motorists who were in the area and have dashcam fitted, to check their footage from the two nights in question for anything relevant.”
