Thieves take child’s tribute

HEARTLESS thieves stole a rabbit-shaped flower tribute for a child killed in a road collision from a Retford florists.

The theft happened between 6pm on Saturday 13th October and 7.45am on Monday 15th October at More Than Flowers in Coronation Street.

The rabbit was taken from the rear of the shop when the lock was forced to an adjoining refrigerated shed.

Shop spokesman Steve Casey said the store is offering a £500 reward for anyone with information leading to conviction.
