The organisers of a popular Halloween event in Glasgow issued a statement after their premises were vandalised.

Bosses at GlasGLOW, by itison, claim that early this morning, pieces of their decoration were painted with "obscene" graffiti, which they believe is in relation to climate activism.

They advised that the incident has been reported to Police Scotland.

In a statement, the company also said that "ecology and sustainability experts are comfortable that GlasGLOW poses no negative impact on the ecology within the gardens".

Oli Norman, CEO of itison, said: “Alongside the entire team I’m saddened and disgusted by the mindless vandalism that took place at GlasGLOW early this morning.

“We are a local company putting on an event bringing families and friends together to spread light and joy in the dark months.

"These trolls should be ashamed of themselves – not only are they disrupting a much-loved event, but they have undermined the cause of environmental groups that genuinely want to drive change.  

“Images of the individuals have been sent to the police and will be released across itison and GlasGLOW social media platforms shortly.

"If anyone has any information relating to these individuals, they should contact the police directly or contact the GlasGLOW team at glasglow2022@itison.com.” 

A Glasgow City Council spokesperson said: “This is the second act of mindless vandalism we’ve seen in our parks this week.

"GlasGLOW is a great addition to what people can do in our parks and it’s a real shame that people are trying to stop families having fun.”

Earlier this week, the Glasgow Times reported that trees were snapped in Bellahouston Park in a "bizarre" act of vandalism.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "On Saturday, October 29, police received a report of vandalism that took place earlier that morning at an event in Botanic Gardens, Glasgow.

"Police enquiries are ongoing into this report and anyone with information that may assist the enquiry should contact 101 with reference 1472 of October 29."
