A gang of yobs trashed a Doncaster school garden causing hundreds of pounds worth of damage – then slept overnight in the grounds.

The hoodie-wearing gang targeted Saltersgate Infant School in Scawsby over the weekend, stealing equipment and breaking outdoor garden equipment – and then spent the night inside a shelter on the premises.

Sharing CCTV of three individuals making their way into the school, a spokesman said: “Our much loved Forest School area was sadly severely damaged on Saturday 8 October into Sunday 9 October.

"Trespassers entered school, stole forest school equipment, damaged items and generally trashed our outdoor forest provision causing hundreds worth of damage.

The spokesman added: “Our children do not deserve to have their learning environments ruined by such behaviour and, if identified, we will seek prosecution.”
