COLLEGE students were devastated by the theft of £600, the total amount raised during their rag week.

Organiser Gill Bergh said she was stunned to find cash destined for charities had been taken in the second break-in in a week at Accrington and Rossendale College.

In the first raid, £100 was taken, but fund-raisers were dealt a worse blow when they found the rest of the proceeds had gone.
