Police release pictures of suspected Poppy Collection thieves
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.

I dont know why the police are even bothering posting the pictures up, and echo readers commenting about how low life scum they are etc.. Yes they are low life, and many other people can see that. But the only person who wont be able to see that is the judge. He of course will fall sorry for them. They will be giving a caution, not to bother giving back the stolen goods, and a new 3 bedroom house somewhere in the country to protect them from the community and haters. Anyone agree?

By the way what about this for an idea. Ban dual nationality. You are British, French, Chinese Afghan anything you like, but that is what your nationality is. That way it would be far more difficult to play both cards and if you had to be deported then far easier to know where to deport to.

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.

I am shocked and surprised that the usual do gooders havnt argued their case and supported these scum. Early days yet and Im waiting for the usual people to say they are English and what about their human rights and Im a racist person.
Bring it on cos these scum pondlife have taken the money for familys and support for British Soldiers who have lost their lives for this country.
Deport them to place of origin , revoke their British passports and lets all wave them goodbye at the airport as these are real scum.
1st offence, BIG WARNING from the magistrate.
This is the only country I know where people who want to do good are despised by people who are clearly full of hatred.
No doubt you think Abu Qatada who preaches hatred of the British and is a dangerous man has every right to stay in the UK. Well I don't and when you cross that line like he has tough if his Country of Origin has the death penalty, gets confessions by torture or not. He should have thought of that before repeatedly preaching hatred if you are a non Muslims.
The same goes for these two and any other who abuse our country.
The Human Rights Act is there to provide protection for genuine people who fear for their lives for the sort of country we are, not as a legal shield to stay here.
Actually had it occurred to you that this is exactly what this man wants to drive a wedge and encourage hatred between people which is exactly why he should be deported.
The French kicked out about 200 of his sort after 9/11 and they signed up,to the Human Rights Act as well. Just their judicial system view their citizens have Human Rights as well.
Do you think he is dangerous or not?
Do you think he is exploiting the Human Rights Act or not?
Do you think he wants to engender hatred between Muslims and others or not?
Do you think he should be deported for or not?
