Attempted theft from donations at war memorial

Police believe thieves have attempted to steal donations left at war memorial in the Highlands.

A lock on the collection box at the Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge was found on Tuesday to have been struck with a tool and damaged.

Police Scotland said the attempted theft may have occurred over the last two weeks.

The memorial is dedicated to those who trained in commando techniques in the area during the Second World War. A nearby garden honours personnel killed in conflicts including Afghanistan and Iraq.
