Cash taken from charity safe and damage caused to Peterborough mosque in burglary

Around £500 was taken from the Fazina Madina Mosque in Gladstone Street, Peterborough, between around 4.20am and 4.50am on Saturday morning (4 November).

The burglar then stole money in a charity safe and damaged walls and doors in the building.

The offender is described as white, around 6ft tall of medium build, was wearing a navy blue hooded top, jeans, Adidas trainers and black leather clothes and was carrying a white plastic bag.

Detective Constable Graham Holmes said: “As well as stealing from charity the offender has also caused damage to the building. This is made all more disturbing as he appears to have deliberately targeted a place of worship.”
