MEAN THEFT IN BRIGG AT CHARITY'S EXPENSE

News reaches us of a mean theft in Brigg at the expense of a well-known charity.
A householder placed a bag of donated clothes in an official charity bag for Leukaemia Research and placed it by his gate one evening very recently.
But there was nothing to pick up when the collection van drove down the street the next morning because the bag was missing, believed stolen.
It's suggested this forms part of "a spate of charity clothes thefts." So we're complying with a request "to put the word out."
The recent incident took place on a street within one of the town's housing estates.
We understand the facts are to be reported to Humberside Police.
