A COLD-HEARTED thief has stolen the top raffle prize from Blackpool's Imperial Cancer Research shop.

A vintage bottle of champagne was to be given away at the Talbot Road charity shop as part of the Breast Cancer Awareness Month promotions.

Area retail manager Suzanne Williams said: "It was devastating to have the prize stolen after the staff had worked so hard.

"We rely heavily on the support of the local community and have already sold many tickets for the draw which will take place at the end of October.

"Hopefully someone may take pity on us and donate a replacement prize."
