Children’s hospice gets raided by thieves during fundraiser


product-fencing Children's hospice gets raided by thieves during fundraiser A children’s hospice premises were raided by thieves and the engine from one of their charity vans stolen the past weekend, while a fundraiser for the same hospice was in full swing elsewhere.

According to a media news report, while 130 people in Haywards Heath were staging a 12 hour Zumbathon to raise money for the Chestnut Tree House hospice, thieves scaled the fence of the hospice distribution centre in Broadwater, Worthing, and removed the engine from one of the charity’s vans.

The culprits dismantled the front of the van and lifted the engine back over the fence, while in the same time smashing the security lights and damaging the wall.

The hospice depot sorts and sends out stock to the 20 St Barnabas and Chestnut Tree House charity shops across Sussex to help raise much-needed funds.

This proves only too well that implementing a very good level of security for one’s premises is quite an important issue, and this is specifically where Car Park Barriers & Turnstiles can prove to be of help.

Car Park Barriers & Turnstiles offers complete metal fencing solutions, made from durable steel and featuring pre-welded panels with internal connectors that make the metal fencing as vandal-proof as possible.
