POLICE patrols are set to be stepped up at a Wrexham-based football club subjected to vandalism.

Over recent months, the likes of Gresford Athletic have suffered damage at their ground with seats being ripped from the stand.

Now, Rhostyllen Football Club is the latest to fall victim to vandals.

North Wales Police have said they will be stepping up their patrols in the area after the dug outs were damaged at The Rec ground.

The force posted this picture of the damage which clearly shows two holes in the substitute's bench.
