This is now the fourth time the thugs have caused damage to the building in just two months.
A man had previously been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit criminal damage and was released with bail conditions.

Clonezone has released shocking CCTV footage that once again shows what appears to be the same orange motorbike pulling up outside the shop.
One person then leaps off the back of the bike and attacks the glass door of Clonezone with what looks like a crow bar, before the pair speed off down Sackville Street in the direction of Portland Street.
Clonezone UK wrote, sharing the footage: “Unfortunately I can confirm that @CZManchester has been attacked for a fourth time.
“My colleague Richard Tropez: ‘Police have said that they know the routes the bike has taken in the past. The windows are still boarded up, but it’s the door glass they went through this time’
“Thankfully, our staff are unharmed. Please share this video^ far & wide, if you can, and help us find any information that could track these people down. We want them caught. Thanks, *Topher.”

The Manchester shop then posted: “Kind of lost for words at the moment that this has happened again.
“Thank you so much to all of you for the support & solidarity. Please, if anyone has any information or has seen this bike in your area contact [email protected], crime stoppers or the police. Thank you again – Cris.”
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said last night: “At around 5.50pm today (Monday 22 May 2023) Greater Manchester Police were called to reports of criminal damage at a premises on Sackville Street, Manchester.
“Officers attended the scene and an investigation is ongoing to determine the full circumstances surrounding this incident.”

Huge shuttle bus effort laid on to get Manchester United fans to Old Trafford amid tram disruption
Daisy Jackson
Transport for Greater Manchester has announced a shuttle bus scheme to help Manchester United fans get to Old Trafford this week, amid major tram disruption.
Fans won’t be able to use trams to get to the ground as usual, due to huge improvement works which are in place until Monday 2 November.
There’ll be no trams at all on the Altrincham, Trafford Park, and Eccles lines, with Airport and East Didsbury trams only going as far as Firswood.
That means that fans heading to Manchester United’s home game against Bournemouth would have been a little stuck without this newly-announced shuttle bus service.
Frequent dedicated shuttle buses will run running Piccadilly Gardens, Altrincham Interchange and the Trafford Centre, taking fans directly to Old Trafford before the game.
Frequencies range from five to 20 minutes depending on the route and time, with details available online. Return services will be in place after the final whistle.
TfGM staff will be at key stops and interchanges throughout the day to help fans get to the match and provide travel advice.

Ian Davies, TfGM’s Network Director for Metrolink, said: “There is no good time to disrupt passengers to carry out these works, and this is the first time in over a decade that trams won’t serve Old Trafford on a match day, but these works are essential and will enable us to provide a better service in future. I am very sorry to fans who face disruption.
“We’ve put a range of alternative travel options in place, including dedicated shuttle buses, bolstered Bee Network bus services, rail options and ticket acceptance arrangements will help fans get to and from the game.
“Journey options will be different from usual, so we would encourage supporters to plan ahead, check their route and our website before they travel and leave plenty of time to get to and from the stadium.”
TfGM is advising supporters to leave around an hour earlier to help make sure they arrive in time for kick-off.
