Christmas cheers turned to tears after a wooden cabin used as Santa’s Grotto was targeted twice in despicable arson attacks at a school for children with additional support needs.
Mindless vandals destroyed the cabin at Firpark School in Motherwell, and then after the local community had rallied round to help pay for a replacement it was torched days later in another senseless attack.
The original bespoke wooden structure had been lovingly built by staff members in the outdoor area during lockdown and is the centre-piece for the school’s Winter Wonderland in the run-up to Christmas. It was torched on Thursday, December 8, not long after the school day had finished.
