An after-school group in Lanarkshire say they are devastated after thieves broke in overnight and took the kids buses and charity money.

Staff at Happy Days in Tannochside Business Park found the premises ransacked when they turned up for work this morning.

After giving away some money they had already raised to the local women's aid, the children had around £200 left which they had planned to spend on new toys, but now its all gone.

Owner Gillian Geddes told Clyde News: "We are devastated to say this is what our staff came into this morning, not only was the office ransacked, medicine cabinet burst open, damage to the building but they have also stolen our 2 minibuses.

"Probably most upsetting is the fact that the children raised just short of £500 and used half to buy toys to donate to Womens Aid which they did at Christmas. The remaining money was for the kids wish list but this has now been stolen along with petty cash."
