A small west Auckland Returned and Services' Association has
been robbed of the $2600 it collected through Anzac Day poppy
sales.
The opportunist burglar came in through a side door of the
Waitakere RSA while members were taking part in the local
remembrance parade, TV One News reported.
The cash was stored in a safe, but it had been left unlocked.
Waitakere RSA president David Bell said the robbery had left
him close to tears.
"I just can't believe it," he said.
One woman interviewed said the robbery was "absolutely
despicable".
"To me it's akin to robbing from a soldier's grave."
