Callous thieves steal junior football jumpers Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A JUNIOR football club has been left devastated after heartless thieves stole their brand new jumpers. Sometime between 17 June and
20 June, unknown offenders broke into the Seaford Junior Football Club home ground on East Road. They broke into a storage room and stole boxes containing brand new jumpers and footballs. The total value of the stolen items was over $3000. Victoria Police Detective Senior
Constable Ashleigh Sanders said “the items stolen during this burglary are mostly useless to anyone else and the club are devastated after all they have been through over the last 18 months.” “The junior club have only returned to matches last weekend, after being unable to play during the pandemic
and the club is solely run by volunteers, most of whom are parents of the under 14s team who has been personally affected,” she said. “The stolen items were purchased by the club for the upcoming season, and we would really like to locate them and return them to the club and the children.”
The stolen footballs are size four and five, with Sherrin and Ross Faulkner branding. The guernseys are black and yellow, and have SJFC on the back of the collars. Information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
