Slashed tyres raises deputy's fear for politicians

A Guernsey politician has said he was targeted by vandals who slashed the tyres of his motorbike, e-bike and his grandson's car while they were parked at his home.

Although the motive behind the attack remains unknown, Deputy Peter Roffey suspects it may have been politically motivated.

Police said they were investigating the attack after Roffey discovered the damage on Sunday after returning to his St Andrews home from a family bereavement.

Roffey, who is standing down at the general election on 18 June after decades of service in the States of Guernsey, said: "At first, I thought it was just bad luck, but when I found all three vehicles had been targeted, it became clear this was deliberate."
