CCTV footage appears to show a man using a tool to break open the donation box before helping himself to its contents at 3.23am on the morning of October 3.
“Sadly, the weekend before last we had a break in at the farm,” Windmill Hill City Farm wrote on their social media channels.
“The thief stole the change from our lamb donation box – a favourite of our younger visitors! The box is emptied daily so the thief made off with very little cash, but they did cause hundreds of pounds worth of damage to our front doors.
“Please help us fund the repairs if you can!”
