Rugby Rotary slam 'despicable' thief who took bird box created by a disabled nine-year-old

The box was stolen within three days of being installed.

Rugby Rotary Club has slammed a callous thief who stole a beautifully-decorated bird box from the Great Central Way.

The club has worked hard to manage a section of the walk, and as part of their centenary project, three bird boxes were installed on the Great Central Way

But within three days one of the bird boxes was stolen.

Club president Keith Ward said “The club has spent over 1,250 hours managing the northern section of the Great Central Way over the last three years and this theft has

undermined efforts to improve the area.

Keith added that It is particularly despicable that the box taken was made and decorated by a disabled nine-year-old -who spent a lot of time and effort which resulted in him winning a club competition for making bird boxes.

Anyone with information should call police on 101.
