A cricket club was forced to cancel fixtures after travellers "broke in" and parked their vans on their playing field. Local Lee Garlick captured drone footage of the tyre-markings left on the pitch because of the unauthorised encampment at Plymstock Cricket Club. The Devon-based club said it had to cancel everything going on at the club “for the foreseeable future" – with the tennis and football teams also affected. The club posted on social media that a "group of travellers" had broken into their pitch on 28 July – and were throwing rocks at people. Their statement read: "Unfortunately our pitch has been broken onto and we now have a group of travellers setting up camp. "Do no approach the ground as they have been throwing rocks at people. Everyone stay clear and stay safe." Lee, who visited the club yesterday evening (30 July) to obtain footage, said: "I just went down to get footage, as I have done with other travelling sites before. See what the state of the ground is like, how many are there, that sort of stuff. "I parked up in the car park and launched my drone. Within a few minutes, some kids came over and asked what I was doing, so I told them. They went off and got some older kids (teenagers), I say about 14 to 16-year-olds. "They asked the same questions and why I was flying over and filming them, as its against the law. I again, explained and informed them of the law and I was entitled to do what I was doing. "They didn't like this and told me to f*** off and stay away before something happens. There were some cars going in and out of the encampment that were shouting out the window as they were exiting the car park, telling me to f*** off and to go play with your toy somewhere else. "I don't intimidate easily, so I stayed, finished what I was doing and then left." The club told the BBC the news is "absolutely heart-breaking" as they recently "put a lot of effort into improving [their] pitch and facilities" and this is going to be "a massive step backwards". They added: "We have been in touch with the council and MP regarding this and hope that they can be moved on soon as this is a very active sports facility used by many in the community." In a statement, Devon and Cornwall Police said: "We are aware of an unauthorised encampment at Dean Cross, Plymstock and are liaising with the council in relation to this. "Officers have attended the site and engaged with the group." For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters .
