A man and a youth have been arrested after a plaque commemorating Holocaust victims was vandalised in Guernsey.

The Jewish Women’s Memorial, which pays tribute to three women who were deported from the island in 1942 and gassed in Auschwitz, was torn from a wall and found discarded nearby.

A Guernsey police spokesperson confirmed that an 18-year-old man and a 16-year-old youth had been questioned.

“They were arrested, interviewed and released on police bail pending further enquiries,” he said.
