Cafe thanks donors for aiding charity after theft
Owners of a cafe targeted by burglars who stole a charity collection have praised donors for coming forward with cash.
Police are appealing for witnesses after thieves broke into The Green Wood Cafe, in Coalbrookdale, on the night of December 22 into 23.
Stolen items included a collection tin in aid of The Small Woods Association which is based in the same building and the cafe's tips jar.
Since the burglary, cafe bosses have set up an online funding appeal for the association which attracted £210 from 20 donors.
