HEARTLESS burglars stole Help For Heroes and Midlands Air Ambulance collection boxes after breaking into business premises in Droitwich.

The charity boxes are believed to have contained about £10 in loose change each.

About £10 in cash was also taken from the till during the raid in High Street sometime between 5.30pm on Friday, August 14, and 7am on Saturday, August 15.

The offenders gained access to the building by smashing a window and forcibly removing a metal security bar.

Anyone with information should contact West Mercia Police on 101 quoting reference number 0148S150815.
