A number of Tillicoultry youths will be reported for causing damage at the town's Congregational Church, after a concerned parent contacted Police Scotland suspecting their child may have been involved in vandalism last week.

It is the Advertiser's understanding, that the youths are aged between 9 and 10 years old, and that officers continue to liaise with parents regarding the incident.

As the Advertiser reported this week, the High Street church's back garden and play area was vandalised between last Tuesday and Thursday (7-9 April). It is believed that the youngsters caused almost £900 worth of damages.
