THIEVES have taken £300 of charity money in what has been branded a 'disgusting' burglary at a Wombwell coffee house.
Audrey's Coffee House, at the corner of Cemetery Road and Barnsley Road, was broken into on Monday night and thieves took cash which had been raised towards Barnsley Hospital's Tiny Hearts Appeal, and £100 the shop had set aside to pay suppliers.
They also ate cake from a display stand, took cans of pop from the fridge, a tray of eggs from the kitchen and the key to the shop till.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
