The Carmelite Convent has been targeted by vandals
Nuns at a Dumbarton convent hope that going public with the harassment they’ve faced from teenage gangs can help clamp down on youth disorder.
Opening up to the Lennox about the situation facing sisters at the monastery, Prioress, Sister Allain Docherty, said: “We’ve been having some bother for a wee while with children coming and going. “They knocked the fences over and there was glass on the road that stopped people driving on it which had to be cleared.”
“I’m pleased to report that, whilst enquiries are still ongoing, we’ve identified a couple of the people involved in the anti-social behaviour. She concluded: “The important thing to remember is that we are not the only ones. This has reportedly been going on in other areas around Dumbarton.“This has brought a lot to light, people have seen it online and been upset by it. We hope that it leads to things getting better across the area.
