TRAVELLERS have set up camp on Harnham cricket pitch this afternoon.
Two caravans and two campervans have been parked and two tents have been pitched on the land that belongs to Salisbury City Council.
A spokesman for the police said the council had been informed and would be dealing with the situation in the morning.
The police were monitoring the situation this evening and will be carrying out checks in the area tonight, but have no power to move the travellers on.
They believe the travellers may have caused criminal damage in order to gain entry to the field and have taken witness statements.
