A COMMUNITY shed in the Gorbals has been ransacked by vandals.
The Men's Shed was robbed of £5,000 worth of tools before covering it in right-wing and anti-police graffiti.
Phrases including "Big Jock knew" and "free Tommy Robinson" were spray painted onto walls and equipment over the weekend.
Stolen items included a TIG welder, a metal cut off saw, a Dewalt chop saw, an AEG plunge saw, a Hitachi cordless gun and several hand tools.
The community led project aims to engage local men who have become isolated or marginalised within the community.
