Police are appealing for information and witnesses after a statue remembering those who lost their lives or fought in military service was vandalised.
The Tommy Silhouette was donated to Carlton Fire Station by Nottinghamshire County Council in 2018.
The station is shared by Nottinghamshire Police and Nottingham Fire and Rescue Service.
It is believed the statue was vandalised over the weekend of Friday, January 31, to Monday, February 3.
Detective Sergeant Mike Ebbins, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This is a disgusting and shocking case of criminal damage and we are exploring a number of lines of enquiries.
“If you have any information that could help us find out who did this, please contact us via 101 and quote incident number 294 of 3 February 2020.”
A statement from Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “Crews from Carlton are truly appalled and upset by the vandalism of the Tommy Silhouette that stands outside the Fire Station.
"The statue is considered by the crews as part of the station and they are hurt by the damage that was caused over the weekend.”
