A support group in Auchinleck has said that baby clothes donations collected by them have been targeted by vandals.

Auchinleck Community Development Initiative (ACDI) operate from the Boswell Centre on Well Road, and offer support to those that need it in the village.

Part of their work involves collecting used clothing to be passed on to anyone who needs some extra support.

Unbelievably, the group said that two youngsters have been caught on CCTV coming into the centre, grabbing a bag of baby clothes and scattering them over the streets.

A group spokesperson said: "It's unfortunate that we have to write this status but it has come to our attention that two young girls have come in and helped themselves to a bag of baby clothes from our donations and then scattered them outside the centre and all over Well Road.

"They have been caught clearly by the CCTV in the centre as well as out with and will be banned from the centre with the parents notified.

"These donations are for people who need them most and its sickening to see them being destroyed in an act of senseless vandalism.

"Unfortunately, if this continues we will be unable to continue gathering donations."
