A BREAK-IN at a Cory Environmental depot in St Erth, in which 17 vehicles were vandalised, caused a disruption to its recycling service.
Damage valued at an estimated £10,000 was caused to the centre on St Erth Industrial Estate and 17 recycling vehicles.
Truck windows were broken, roof linings slashed and goods, such as radios, were stolen. The culprits are believed to have cut a hole in the depot's perimeter fencing.
The incident was discovered by staff at 5.45am last Thursday morning and is believed to have occurred between then and 6pm on Wednesday.
The centre's scheduled recycling collection on Thursday was delayed as a result and this spilled over to the morning.
