Thieves smashed glass and wood doors, wrenched safe doors from hinges and ransacked filing cabinet drawers in a search for cash at The Salvation Army citadel in Taree.

Forensic police today (May 23) visited the citadel in Manning Street to gather evidence as shocked Salvation Army majors Michael and Sandy Hogg, office manager Lyn Tisdell and church members started the clean-up as they struggled with their feelings of shock, disappointment and frustration. Police will investigate the break-in which happened between 6pm on May 22 and 9am on May 23.
