A CASH box containing £150 has been stolen from a charity drop-in centre.
Someone stole the box from the Mind centre, in Newton Aycliffe, yesterday between 9am and 9.30am, while staff were busy cleaning the premises.
Councillor Bill Blenkinsop, chairman of the charity, said that the centre did not open to the public until 10am, but staff arrive earlier to make preparations. The door had been left open and a thief had sneaked in and taken the money.
"It's not just the cash though," he said.
"Also in the box was receipts and we really need to get them back."
He urged the thief to return the receipts. Anyone with information can call (01325) 467681 or (01325) 308057.
