"Press Release: Break in at the Drop Redoubt
This week the Drop Redoubt Napoleonic fort at Dover was attacked by an organised gang. Following entry, they cut through three separate access points destroying padlocks and chains at each, and then proceeded to ransack the tool-store stealing all of the Society's valuable items and lowering them out of the fort.
The break-in was discovered on Thursday evening after a photograph was posted online showing one of the main Victorian access doors wide open.
The Society has lost a portable generator, two toolboxes, two Burco water boilers used in the café, its PA system, three petrol grass strimmers, an electric buzz saw, numerous hand tools, padlocks, drinks and more. The intruders also caused irreparable damage to storage bins in the tool-store. The total value is estimated at £2,500.
"This is the worst attack we have ever had. It is devastating news for the Society - for all the volunteers who have put so much hard work into opening the fort for the public to enjoy, and for all the public who have come to our events and given us donations. In a single night over 12 months income has been wiped out. We still hope to provide events next year, but until we can stake stock of what has happened nothing at this stage can be guaranteed."
"Stealing from a charity - how low can you go?"
The Police are working with both English Heritage and WHPS to investigate the break-in. If anyone has any information relating to the theft, please call Kent Police quoting the reference ZY/37547/15, or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
The Western Heights Preservation Society charity works alongside English Heritage in caring for and maintaining the Drop Redoubt. All works by the Society volunteers are funded by donations and sales. The Society's next event is the free lecture night at 7pm at the Roundhouse Theatre at Dover Discovery Centre on the 15th January."...
