Devon Businesses Hit by String of Late July Burglaries

Devon and Cornwall Police are investigating a linked series of seven burglaries that affected businesses in Exeter and south Devon. The reported incidents occurred between July 22 and July 30, causing considerable distress to local business owners.

Cash, charity donations, and other items were stolen during these break-ins. One recent incident at Teign Bean coffee shop in Exminster involved the forced entry and theft of a money box. Police emphasize the particularly upsetting nature of stealing funds raised for charitable causes.
