ELIZABETH Castle was allegedly broken into – with cash and tools reportedly stolen – according to Jersey Heritage.
The organisation’s chief executive, Jon Carter, said that the States police were investigating the incident.
“A small amount of cash was stolen, as well as tools from the renovation building works. However, we can confirm that no historic artefacts were taken and that, although there was minor damage, including to the doors of several buildings, this did not include anything of historical interest,” he added.
The incident is said to have happened at some point on Thursday night or in the early hours of Friday.
Mr Carter said: “Our thanks go to the States of Jersey Police, who were on-site as quickly as possible to investigate, and to staff who are helping to clear up and carry out repairs.
“We hope that anyone with any information about the break-in comes forward to help the police with their investigation.”
The castle was closed to the public on Friday, although Mr Carter explained that this was “due to the poor weather and our castle ferries being unable to operate safely”.
