Police have been told the sad news of the theft of a Poppy Collection tub in Ormskirk.
Local collectors, Liz and Bernie - who distribute the Poppy boxes and collection tubs around the town - were on their rounds yesterday, collecting them after Remembrance Sunday.
The one at Ellerbrook House on County Road had been stolen; it was inside the premises, which can only be accessed by either by being a resident or visiting a resident.
How sad is that?
The matter has been reported to the Police.
QLocal will, as usual, report the total figure for the amount raised soon.
