Penarth: Surf kit to help ease children's anxiety is stolen
Surfing equipment worth thousands of pounds has been stolen from a special needs school, leaving children "disheartened" and "upset".
The surf trailer at Ysgol y Deri school, in Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, had just been filled with brand new stand-up paddle-boards, wet suits and other kit before the school was targeted.
Sonny, 13, who uses the water-based lessons to help with his anxiety, said: "When I'm out there, it just all goes, [I'm] just focussed on catching more waves."
South Wales Police said it was "appalled" by the theft and is working to identify those responsible.
