Police are investigating the theft of $50,000 worth of donated cosmetic products from a Foodbank SA warehouse in Adelaide.
Thieves have broken into one of Foodbank SA's warehouses and stolen more than $50,000 worth of donated perfumes, cosmetics and skin care products.The items were typically used to provide a treat on special occasions, like Mother's DayIt's the second time in recent weeks the Edwardstown warehouse has been targeted
Foodbank has been distributing beauty products for some time to other charities like Catherine House, which offers support services to women experiencing homelessness."It provides a great deal of dignity and allows them to maintain their own self esteem because these are products that people would normally go without if they are really struggling," Mr Pattinson said.
Mr Pattinson said the warehouse was also broken into two weeks ago and the thieves would have spent at least an hour trying to break through a very secure metal door. Foodbank distributes perfumes and cosmetics to other charities and also uses the products for fundraising.
