A charity that supports refugees and asylum seekers has been left "devastated" after its truck was stolen from its garden.

CEO of Oasis Cardiff Susie Ventris-Field said the centre's CCTV footage revealed the "thoughtless" theft occurred at 01:00 BST on Sunday.

The truck was used for delivering training and employment opportunities to refugees and asylum seekers.

The charity has appealed for anyone with more information to come forward and assist South Wales Police with its investigation.

Set up in 2008, Oasis Cardiff in Splott has helped hundreds of people who have fled war or political persecution from places including Syria, Eritrea, Sudan, Afghanistan, Kurdistan, Albania, Libya and Iraq.

The centre provides a "safe haven" for those in need as well as providing meals, clothing, language classes, advice and activities aimed at helping people settle in the community.
