mike veale had been in thejobjust ten months, having moved from wiltshire police, where he had also facedmber command memorial, the canada memorial, and statues of winston churchill and franklin d roosevelt were all damaged in the incident. it is the fourth time in six years the bomber command memorial has been damaged by vandals. the met police are investigating and say they have not yet made any arrests. here‘s sonja jessup. it is supposed to honour their courage and sacrifice, but today the bomber command war memorial was found vandalised, daubed in white gloss paint. i feel absolutely outraged, i can see no point in this, it seems senseless. you know, what are they hoping to achieve, these people? it'sjust disrespectful of what they did for this country, in terms of freedom, it's absolutely disgusting. it'sjust so sad, it's mindless. i don't know why people would do it. the memorial honours more than 55,000 men who lost their lives with bomber command during world war ii. and those who survived, such as charles clarke, bomber command veteran who was shot down and taken prisoner. inexc
