Thief steals Guide Dog Charity on the Gold Coast

A brazen thief disguised as a Guide Dogs worker has stolen a charity collection from a supermarket.

Police are hunting for the man who stole the charity dog from Woolworths in Pacific Pines on the Gold Coast last Saturday at about 10.30am.

The man disguised himself as an employee of the Guide dogs dressed in a tie and even spoke with supermarket staff before stealing the collection.

He told staff he was going to replace the collection dog with a new one before walking out.

The man made off with about $300 inside the charity dog.  

The collection was found behind a nearby medical centre two days later.
