Food bank volunteers have been left 'disgusted' after someone deposited a bag of human poo in the donations trolley at their local Asda.

The supermarket chain has condemned the vile culprit who fouled the donations trolley at the Llandudno, Wales branch on Wednesday.

The nasty surprise was uncovered by volunteers when they arrived to collect the donations left by kind-hearted shoppers.

Asda told North Wales Live it was "at a complete loss" as to why anyone would do such a thing.

A spokesman said: "We are at a complete loss to understand why anyone would do this and will absolutely not tolerate this behaviour.

"We are proud to support local good causes right across the UK, including Hope Restored at our Llandudno store who do such wonderful work for foodbanks in the area, and we will ensure all of the kind donations that were made by our customers are replaced so that the charity does not go without this Christmas.”

Brenda Fogg, who runs the organisation said she was left "shocked and disgusted" by the vile act.

She said the festive period is the time they are most "run off their feet" trying to feed families who can't afford to put food on the table.

She said: "When we went to empty the trolley at Asda today, we noticed a carrier bag had been placed in there.

"We looked inside and the smell was disgusting, it was a bag of human faeces.

"The assistant manager came over and said himself he was disgusted and asked how anyone could do that.

"It upset me because we are run off our feet at this time of year collecting the food so many people have graciously donated."

She added: "It was disgusting and horrible - especially when so many people are in need and we need all the donations we can get.

"Unfortunately, we had to throw a lot of the food away.

"Let's just hope that whoever did it, never has to rely on a food bank themselves one day."

Once homeless, Brenda is known locally as the "Angel of Llandudno" for devoting her efforts to helping others on the streets.

It comes after she arrived in the town with her two small children in tow and carrying two black bin bags filled with their possessions after escaping an abusive relationship.

She became the caretaker at her local church and within months, was making sandwiches for the homeless and going out at night armed with blankets and food.

Now, Brenda, who was last year honoured with a British Empire Medal has amassed a team of volunteers who all give up their time to work are at the Lighthouse Community Church on the West Shore in Llandudno.

There they run the food bank and give out hot meals to around 25 homeless and needy people on Tuesdays and Fridays and also offer advice and help on finding accommodation.

She said: "I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who supports our food bank and wish them a merry Christmas.

"We really do appreciate all the support we receive."

The news attracted dozens of comments from people outraged by the incident on social media.
