THIEVES smashed their way into the Bolton branch of the RSPCA and got away with two computers and about £50 in cash.

They broke into the building, in St George’s Road, Bolton, through a back door at some time between 4.45pm on Friday and 9am on Monday.

Branch administrator Kathy Kay said: “I think it is appalling that these thieves have stolen from a charity.

“The computers are invaluable to us as they hold years worth of information about the animals we have rescued and other important forms. If anyone comes across them, we would appeal for that person to return them to us.”

The burglary has been reported to the police who are investigating.
