Police have launched a probe after a group of heartless youngsters smashed up a Scots bar.
The youths burnt cigarette holes and put screwdriver holes in sofas during a callous rampage in the marquee at The Bank Bar and Tapas on Whitesands in Dumfries.
They even broke a lager machine while trying to attach a keg before trashing the whole place - including smashing mirrors, pictures and furniture.
Cops say the vandalism occurred sometime between Sunday and Tuesday and they are asking anyone with information to come forward.
In a statement on Facebook heartbroken Bank Bar bosses said: "Disgusted beyond words. During the most testing time we could ever imagine as a business, we are alerted by the police that this has happened in the marquee.
"We have been met with cigarette burns and screwdriver holes in our sofas and a broken lager machine where youths have tried to attach the wrong keg to it, along with trashing the whole place with mirrors, pictures and furniture all smashed everywhere.
"We hope you are proud of yourselves. When the boys’ parents get a phonecall today to say they have been involved in this maybe they can look at these pictures and see the level of mindless vandalism their child has been involved in.
"We would be more than happy to have them come and tidy up their mess or perhaps we could invite them into The Bank to do a few shifts when we reopen as repayment and we can teach them a little about hard work and respect."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Police in Dumfries are making enquiries in relation to a vandalism which occurred between Sunday, February 14 and Tuesday, February 16 at The Bank Bar and Tapas on Whitesands in Dumfries.
"During this time damage has been caused to items located in the marquee at the rear of the premises.
"If you have any information in relation to this incident please contact officers from Dumfries Community Policing Unit on 101."
