Empty Box at Evensong

4 min

At St Aldhelm's Cathedral, a wooden collection box mounted near the north porch was found emptied sometime between the end of the 11:00 Morning Service and the start of the 15:30 Evensong. The box had been kept locked but the lock was found unlatched. Your task is to profile the behaviour of whoever took the contents — not to name that person.
