Thief breaks into farm shop and steals "pennies" from charity box

CCTV footage shows a brazen thief stealing from the till and charity box at a family-run farm shop. br br The owners of the Broadditch Farm Shop in Southfleet, Kent, say they're "gutted" after the break-in last week, which saw them lose around £2,000 in money and repairs. br br Despite feeling "numb" since the theft last Tuesday (2204), owner John Harris says what bothers him most is the man taking the Ellenor Hospice charity pot. br br "He was inside for about 45 minutes," Mr Harris said. "I’ve got a hell of a lot of footage of him...br br “At the end of the shop, we’ve got little skylight windows that are permanently fixed shut. [The thief] pried them open with a crowbar.br br “He managed to crawl through and he went through the whole shop.br br “He wasn’t particularly bright: he didn't have a balaclava on, but he was wearing gloves."br br CCTV footage from the shop shows the man, who looks to be in his mid-to-late 20s, making his way through the premises, using a torch to look around.br br As well as going through the till around 10:40pm, the thief also took the Ellenor Hospice charity pot, putting coins into a white plastic bag he took from underneath the till as he went.
