Charles’ Sandringham estate is vandalised while King is there recovering from cancer treatment as police probe attack
Shocking snaps show the aftermath of the attack
KING Charles’s Sandringham estate has been vandalised while he is there recovering from cancer treatment – with cops probing the “mindless” attack.
Yobs in the Norfolk village of Dersingham doused a playing field with weedkiller, blistering the grass.

The village is part of the Sandringham estate, where Charles is staying after he returned from treatment in London yesterday.
It is not known whether Charles has been told about the heartless attack.
The estate has leased the football pitch to Dersingham Rovers Football Club since the 1990s.
Zigzag marks suggest weedkiller was poured across almost the entire length of the pitch.
Shocking snaps show how large areas of grass have now withered and turned brown.
Local councillor Coral Shepherd said: “It’s stupid, senseless, mindless.
“So many people get so much enjoyment out of the sports ground.
“I fail to see what they feel they’ll achieve by doing it, it’s a pointless exercise.”
Last summer a window was smashed in a shelter and advertising hoardings were torn down at the ground, where 13 youth teams play.

Five years earlier, a building was reportedly set alight on the ground.
Norfolk Police said: “We are investigating a report of vandalism on Manor Road in Dersingham.
“It’s believed to have happened between February 7th and 10th.
Anyone with information should call 101 quoting crime ref 36/10339/24.
King Charles headed straight back to work in London yesterday before returning to Sandringham to recover after more cancer treatment.
The monarch, 75, looked in good spirits as he headed to Buckingham Palace for state business.
After going through his red boxes and meeting palace officials, Charles headed back to Sandringham via helicopter for some rest.
His Majesty is said to have started receiving “pioneering” treatment and will return regularly to the capital for care.
Charles is expected to have further cancer treatment as an out-patient in London this month and the Palace has yet to set a date for his return to frontline duties.
Since 2003, Charles has lived at Clarence House, his official London residence mainly used for working engagements.
Prince Harry and Charles reunited at Clarence House last week after the Duke made a transatlantic dash following Charles’ cancer diagnosis.
Charles personally told Harry about his cancer diagnosis in what is understood to have been a warm conversation over the phone.
