A nursery was forced to close its doors after sick thieves raided the day-care facility.

The thugs forced their way into Garthamlock Family Centre overnight and shocked parents of children at the nursery were turned away on Monday morning.

Police were at the scene as a probe was launched into the break-in.

A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman said: "Garthamlock Nursery closed today due to break-in.

"Carers of children between two and five-years-old can use service at Kincardine Nursery from 11am onwards."
