Three poppy appeal collection boxes have been stolen from Handforth in the space of a week.
Earlier this week we reported that a prolific thief had been jailed for 16 weeks for four separate thefts which included stealing a poppy tin from Ladbrooks in Handforth. We have now been informed that collection boxes were also taken from Tesco Express at The Paddock and the Bulls Head on Wilmslow Road.
Volunteer Pat Hodson, 63, whose husband David is president of the Handforth branch of The British Legion, said "It is absolutely disgusting, Dave is proper upset."
She added "The manager at Tesco Express was very upset, they made a box up and put Poppy Appeal on it and at the Bulls Head staff put in £16 of their own money."
Neither businesses know when the collection boxes were taken.
