Police are hunting a callous burglar who stole charity boxes from a pub in Netherfield – including a collection for Ukraine.
A man distracted a member of staff at It’s Inn the Bank in Victoria Road, Netherfield, before stealing two collection boxes which contained cash for the Ukraine appeal and in aid of a stroke unit.
It happened at around 2.20pm yesterday (15).
Sergeant Rebecca O’Connor, of the Gedling neighbourhood policing team, said: “We are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry, including checking CCTV footage, to trace the man responsible for this despicable burglary.
“It’s very sad that someone would stoop so low as to steal cash donated to worthy causes and given by kind-hearted people to help others.
“This was a heartless and callous theft and we are determined to catch this offender as soon as possible and bring him to justice.
“To help us with our ongoing enquiries I would urge anyone with information about the burglary or the person responsible to please get in touch with the police as soon as possible.”
Anyone with any information, or who has any CCTV or dash-cam footage, is asked to call 101, quoting incident number 489 of 15 March 2022, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
