A Dundee food larder has been forced to shut after a break-in at a community centre.
Boomerang Community Centre on Kemback Street in Stobswell was targeted overnight from Thursday into Friday.
The centre provides a range of activities including youth clubs, as well as the larder for people who struggle with the cost of food.
A Facebook post said: “Unfortunately our food larder is cancelled today due to a break-in last night.
“If anyone has any information regarding this please get in touch.”
‘Most vulnerable’ affected by Boomerang break-in
Local councillor Lynne Short confirmed nothing was taken but said she was disgusted by the break-in.
She said: “The people who have done this have targeted the most vulnerable in the community.
“The centre has had to close to allow the police to gather evidence.
“This means that those people who need the services of the centre the most are having to go an entire weekend without the support they would normally get.
“It could now be next Tuesday before they can access the centre again.”
Police investigation continuing
She added: “This is so disturbing and so upsetting for the people who are doing everything they can to help those in the greatest need.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 8.10am on Friday, we were made aware of a break-in at a premises on Kemback Street, Dundee.
“Inquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances.”
Boomerang has been contacted for comment.
