A newly constructed police station has been badly vandalised, despite never having officially opened its doors to the public.

The multi-million-rand facility has reportedly been stripped of its fittings and left in ruins, sparking frustration among residents who are demanding answers about how the property was allowed to deteriorate before becoming operational.

The building is easily accessible to members of the public, with no security measures in place to protect the premises or prevent further vandalism.

Residents have raised concerns over the apparent neglect of the facility, particularly given the significant amount of public money spent on its construction.

The vandalised police station is also situated a short distance from another police station and Flying Squad offices, raising further questions about the circumstances surrounding the damage.
