Quad bike vandals go on rampage in Necropolis
Vandals have desecrated a historic cemetery in Glasgow after going on the rampage with quad bikes. Kenny Boyle, parks, transport and environment manager for the city council, said: "It would appear that some people with quad bikes scrambled around the Necropolis at the weekend."This is simply symptomatic of the anti-social behaviour that occurs in certain parks and open spaces across the city.
"This mindless destruction and vandalism goes beyond the pale when people abuse, desecrate and violate an area like the Necropolis.
"This is an area of religious and historical importance. It's a sacred site and is meant to be a place for tranquillity."
