A MYSTERY over two Poppy Appeal collection tins missing from Oxford appears to have been solved.
Last week, we reported that the Royal British Legion (RBL) collection pots were suspected to have been stolen from The Oxford Mail offices and Dunelm in Botley Road following an unknown collector asking to pick up donations.
Despite the RBL in Oxford suspecting the tins had been stolen, organisers now say a volunteer representing the RBL in another county mistakenly toured the wrong area.
Both tins are now accounted for, and the police have been informed.
We are happy to set the record straight.
