Thieves raid charity boxes

Thieves broke into a McDonald's in Halesowen during the early hours of today snatching £100 from charity collection boxes.

It happened at the fast food eaterie in Bromsgrove Road at around 3.30am.

They made off with cash from the collection boxes in aid of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) which supports families with seriously ill children.

Generous Walsall firm IH Maintenance and Repair has this morning donated £100 in order to replace the stolen money – ensuring the charity does not miss out.
