BRAZEN burglars have targeted the home of Kilwinning Rangers twice in three days causing thousands of pounds-worth of damage.

Thieves broke in to Abbey Park’s hospitality room last week stealing hundreds of pounds worth of booze and wrecked the door with a crowbar as they forced their way inside.

Just days later the yobs were back, this time targetting the containers which holds all the club’s equipment.

Fortunately they didn’t manage to get into the containers, but managed to smash and damage the padlocks.

Buffs chairman Colin Boyd said he believes the burglars are local.

He told the Herald: “They are definitely from Kilwinning. They know exactly where our CCTV is and they know how to avoid it.

“They knew where the alcohol was kept and they know there is stuff inside those containers so if you ask me, it is definitely someone from the town, and worse, possibly someone who is familiar with the club.”

The double break-in is the latest attack on Abbey Park following six smash and grab raids this year.

Colin said: “It’s pretty sickening to have this keep happening. We are only a small club so we can’t afford for this to keep happening, it’s killing us”
