Horrified, she reported the matter to the police on her return at 8pm.

Now Samantha says that the rest of the plants were taken away later that evening when she was still in the house.

She said: “Who would actually do this? My son had really enjoyed putting in the plants and was very confused and upset to find out they had been stolen.

“Cumbernauld is so very bad for crime now - we had our house broken into two years ago as we slept. You can’t have anything nice now.”

Police say that the matter is being investigated and crime prevention advice has been provided.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact police on 101.
