Children in Glasgow helped police arrest a man dressed as the Grinch , days after their nursery was broken into. The Ivy in the Park nursery in Carntyne was broken into on Sunday, December 8, as someone kicked in internal doors and left with an iPad, reports Glasgow Live. However, the nursery's caretaker Paul McGrath, 50, hatched a plan alongside community police officers 'to give the children a bit of closure'.
