Police
are hunting these two suspects after after a British Legion charity
Poppy Appeal collection tin was nicked at a Heathrow Airport hotel.
The
two men entered the Renaissance Hotel on Nettleton Road at
approximately 11.30pm on Friday November 9.
The
first man approached the reception desk and asked the member of staff
for some paper.
As
the member of staff left the front desk for a short while, another
man then approaches and takes the Poppy Appeal collection tin, which
was on the reception desk.
Some
time later, hotel staff noticed the collection tin was missing and
after reviewing CCTV footage, reported the theft to police the
following morning.
Detectives
from the Metropolitan Police's Aviation Policing Command are
investigating and despite making various enquiries to try and
identify the two men, they are now releasing CCTV footage and asking
for the public’s help in identifying them.
Detective
Constable Kris Latham, from Aviation Police, who is investigating the
case said:
“I’d appeal to anyone who may know or recognise either of these
men to get in touch with us.
“Stealing
a Poppy Appeal charity tin, or indeed any charity donation, is a
despicable act and we are determined to bring those responsible to
justice.
“If
