POLICE are investigating a break in at the Broadmeadow Magic FC clubhouse over the weekend.

According to the club, intruders broke in about 3am Sunday, smashing windows to access the canteen and the main clubhouse.

The offenders caused "thousands of dollars worth of damage" to the site before fleeing the scene with a couple of cases of beer and spirit mixers.

"It takes a special calibre of person to target volunteer organisations, we hope the law can catch up with them swiftly," a statement from the club said.
