The theft of a poppy collection can on the weekend has raised the ire of many people in Stellarton, N.S.
Police say the individuals entered the Tim Hortons on Foord Street around 3:15 p.m. Saturday and took the can.
Poppy donations support Canadian veterans and their families through the Royal Canadian Legion.
The Stellarton Legion says the location is one of its top donation spots, but they aren't sure how much money was taken.
“Up until Saturday, we had gone down twice and collected,” said Candy Hubley, poppy chair for the Stellarton Legion.“I believe the last time was Thursday and it was filled then. So they only had a couple days' collection.”
Investigators have released photos of the suspects in the hopes someone will be able to identify them.
With plenty of online attention, police say they've received hundreds of calls from people hoping to identify the two seen in the pictures.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Stellarton Police Service.
