Burglars have struck at a charity shop that raises money for young orphans in Zambia.
Raiders broke into the Mpika premises, in Lawkholme Lane, Keighley, and stole £25 after smashing open a safe.
“They made a terrible mess,” said June Martin, chairman and co-founder of the Mpika Relief Fund, which supports a children’s orphanage.
“It’s not so much the money that’s an issue — we never keep a lot on the premises — it’s the distress this sort of thing causes to the staff, who are all volunteers.
The break-in occurred sometime on Tuesday night of last week and was discovered by shop manager Jacqueline Wilkinson when she arrived on the Wednesday. Police are investigating.
