However, a safety net prevented the culprits from entering the store.

An employee at the High Street branch said: “One of our door windows was cracked overnight between Thursday and Friday.

“They didn’t get into the shop because the window’s got a safety net.”

Sergeant Andy Angus, based at Falkirk Police Station, said: “The Salvation Army store in Falkirk’s High Street had bricks thrown through a door window overnight between 6.30pm on Thursday, March 8 and 8.30am on Friday, March 9.
