VANDALS who smashed open milkshake vending machines have forced the company to move their machines out of Malvern.

The gang stole treats from the Whole Moo World machine was moved from its location outside the Langland Stadium today (Friday, May 24).

The firm which operates the machine said the decision to move it was due to the vandalism and theft that took place earlier this month as well as a lack of respect for the machine. 

West Mercia Police are currently carrying out enquiries after the vending machine was broken into at the stadium, which is the home of Malvern Town football club, in the early hours of Sunday, May 12.

A statement released on social media from Whole Moo World said: "Us Moos are very sad to have to wave goodbye to Malvern but our moo milk machine is moving on to pastures new.

"A huge thank moo to all who have supported us and our way of life.

"An announcement will be coming soon on where the brand-new location will be…thank moo Malvern."

People took to social media to react to the news. 

One customer said it was a real shame the machine was being moved because of a very small minority. 

One customer added her son would be gutted by the news as her son always loved his milk after training and match days. 

While Adel Pryce joked the firm could 'moooove' the machine to the end of his drive.
