Police release pictures of suspected Poppy Collection thieves
3:45pm Thursday 15th November 2012 in News By Emma Thomas
POLICE have released pictures of two people they believe are responsible for stealing the poppy tins.
Officers say they received a considerable number of calls and now want to talk to Lulia Ghitoi, 33, and Liviu Ghitoi, 22, whose last known address was Barking, east London.
It is not known if they are married or are brother and sister. They are also believed to be responsible a theft from a shop in Whitham.
Another shopkeeper in Derbyshire told the Mirror she was “100% sure” the pair had also snatched her iPhone.
Investigating officer DS Rob Kirby said: "They are also wanted in connection with a theft which occurred in September where a mobile phone was stolen from behind the counter in a shop in Maldon Road, Witham.
"We would also urge any other retailers or shopkeepers who think these two suspects have been in their shops to review their CCTV footage and report any further thefts that come to light.
"We are now appealing to anybody who knows of the whereabouts of either person to contact us. This appeal would include friends and family of the suspects themselves to search their conscience and help us bring to justice the people responsible for this despicable offence where money donated to help war heroes was stolen on the very day dedicated to respecting their memory.”
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101.

These people probarly have no regular job/income, unless they are on welfare?!
I did get a little fed up reading the above posting as it was heading away from the issue and more into a slanging match.
why not try to get your opinion/point over in a few lines without attacking each other.

Not.
I think we can thank 13 years of socialist goverment for having these scum bags in the country.
Once caught, no doubt an entire raft of bed wetting apologists will come out to support them.
