A CHARITY that helps other good causes with high-tech equipment has been given a big boost - by the police.
North Yorkshire's boys in blue have donated a large amount of confiscated goods to the Sussex-based Computers for Charity.
The donation from the fraud squad follows the successful prosecution and jailing of a fraudulent businessman who ran his own computer business.
Charity chairman Simon Rooksby said: "Support such as this is invaluable to the charity, given the growing demand for assistance both locally, nationally and overseas.
"As a charity we receive no formal funding or grant aid to undertake activities, and over the years we have prevented more than 100,000 computers from ending up as landfill."
