Police are appealing for information after damage was caused to a protected ancient monument near Wrexham.
Officers from North Wales Police say electric bikes were ridden over the remains of a historic motte and bailey castle within the grounds of Erddig Hall on 10 April, leading to damage to the structure.
The site is recognised for its historical importance and is protected to preserve it for future generations.
PC Dave Allen from the Rural Crime Team said: “The individuals who rode electric bikes in this area did not seek permission from the landowner and have also committed heritage crime offences.
“The remains of the castle are designated by CADW for their historical value and to protect them for future generations.
“Anybody with information about the damage at Erddig should contact us via our website or by calling 101, quoting reference O054202.”
The monument is listed and protected by Cadw, highlighting its significance as part of Wales’ heritage.
Police are now urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has information to come forward.
