Police have confirmed that a charity tin was stolen from inside a Greggs store in Swindon town centre.

A report was received just after 5am on Friday, August 9 that a window of the Greggs in Canal Walk had been smashed and the tin stolen.

The store was closed on Friday, August 9, with one of its glass doors covered in a wooden board.

Glass was visible on the shop floor inside, despite an earlier attempt to clear the damage.

A notice read: “We’re sorry. We’ve had to temporarily close this shop, we’ll be back soon.”

Although there was no notable rioting in Swindon this week, the damage comes after rioters damaged some Greggs stores and other shops around the country.

The BBC reported that one youth stole food from Greggs before heading down to Lush to steal bath products, later appearing in court.

He is due to be sentenced on Monday, September 2 after he admitted violent disorder and two counts of burglary.
