The two men who stole a poppy tin from a builder’s yard in Croydon
have been labelled the scum of the earth.
The images of the two breaking in were posted onto social media
by Olivia Betteridge, whose dad runs the business, in hope of catching them.
Olivia told the
advertiser ‘these guys are absolute sum. I want them to be caught, you can’t go
around doing things like this’. At 1am on Sunday morning Barry Whitmore received
a call to say the alarm had gone off at the yard he runs with his son.
Mr Whitmore said "We've had break-ins before but this is the worst
because of the time of year. People who donate to the Poppy Appeal often do so
for personal reasons”.
"The tin had around £20 in it. We'd only had it a week. We've had
one here for the last four years. We wanted to do our bit."
"You do something that's really rewarding only to get a kick in the
teeth like this,”.
The break-in has now been reported to the police who have started an
investigation.
I think
what the thieves done was truly disgusting, especially as they didn’t care
where and who were taking the money from. They decided to go through with
something that would get them into so much trouble and be hated by the public,
just to receive £20. I believe it was a good idea for Olivia to post a picture
of the thieves on social media.
