The Globe Café in Dukinfield was broken into last Sunday (December 12).
Thieves entered through the backdoor and stole the charity boxes and a replica rifle.
The rifle belongs to the Tameside Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Club, who meet at the café every month.

Described as an ‘integral part of the community’, the café is a hub for local people and the breakfast club.
Those who have information or saw anything suspicious should contact the police.
