“Our volunteer shelter has been returned and will help our very kind volunteers shelter from the elements whilst assisting the vaccination campaign.

“Thank you all.”

The original posting said the practice had the incident on CCTV and urged those involved to return it before the police were contacted.

A number of Facebook users commented on the original post, including one who said: "This is the lowest of low. The volunteers were out there in torrential rain doing a grand job."
