Vandals have been setting fire to park benches in part of Nottinghamshire.
Police continue to investigate and have appealed for witnesses to come forward after the incidents reported this month.
Two picnic benches and a water butt were damaged at the Linby Heritage Centre in Main Street, Linby, between July 29 and August 2.
Meanwhile, a bench was set alight on the park behind Papplewick and Linby Village Hall, Linby Lane, Papplewick, between 7.30pm and 10.30pm on August 8, and another bench was attacked at Moor Pond Woods, between Papplewick, Hucknall and Linby.
Police have released pictures showing the extent of the damage.
Local beat manager, Police Constable Chris Whild, said: "This mindless vandalism at parks and open spaces enjoyed by families and our local communities will not be tolerated.
"Those responsible for this damage should be ashamed of their actions and we are urging anyone who saw any suspicious activity in these areas, or who has any information about those responsible for these incidents, to contact us."
He added: "We will take further action where needed but we're also asking the public to be vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to us by calling Nottinghamshire Police on 101."
Leader of Gedling Borough Council, Labour Councillor John Clarke said: “We are absolutely appalled at this vandalism in our parks. We will work with the police to find the people who did this.
"At a time when our parks and open spaces are one of the few things people can go out and enjoy, for someone to do this is is inexcusable.
"If anyone saw anything, please contact the police.”
Anyone with information is asked to call the force on 101, quoting incident 275, of August 12.
