A gazebo was ruined and blood-stained tissues and cigarette ends were left within the grounds of Stenhousemuir Primary School’s nursery area during the latest incident.

The vandalism took place between Friday, October 2 and Monday, October 5.

The nursery garden was thoroughly checked and cleaned by staff before children were allowed to use the space.
