HUNDREDS of pounds have been stolen from a Paisley nursery after a break in on Monday night.
Staff at Glencoats Lodge Nursery, on Blackstoun Road, were shocked to discover that over £600 of money being raised by the children to pay for new toys had been nicked by a lone-thug.
And not content with just stealing the money, the crook then set about trashing the nursery and punching holes in the walls, reports The Gazette.
He also made off with a number of Ipads and a laptop used by staff.
Jessica Colin, manager of the nursery, said: "It is a real shame to see what has happened and for all of the children's hard work to be ruined.
"We don't usually keep money in the safe, but had been doing so as it was raised by the children.
"We are lucky that all the staff have been so great and stuck together.
"We have been able to clean it all up and the nursery will be open again as normal from tomorrow."
If you have any information on the incident, phone police on 101.
