Police are appealing to the public for help after four Poppy Appeal charity tins were stolen from shops in Turriff.
They were reported missing from separate stores on the High Street between Friday and Saturday.
Constable Nathan Smith, who is investigating, said: “We can’t be sure of the value of the money contained within each of the tins, however it’s not the point – it beggars belief that someone could be so cruel as to steal money from charity.
“I would urge anyone who was in stores on the High Street during the dates in question and saw any suspicious behaviour to please get in touch. You can contact Police on 101 quoting ref. number 2205 of November 3, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 in confidence.”
