Pensioner's car stolen as she sells poppies
THIEVES stole a pensioner’s car while she sold poppies in Stockbridge.
The 71-year-old woman was selling pins for the Royal British Legion when the thieves struck.
They stole her Black Proton Savvy on Sunday from Old London Road.
Brian Godwin, the legion’s branch chairman for Eastleigh, Chandler’s Ford and district, said: “It’s a bad state of affairs. We don’t get paid for doing this – it’s all voluntary, and it’s really sad that someone has gone and done this.”
Police said a couple in their early 20s may have witnessed the incident and asked anyone with information to call 101.
