Has YOUR shop been forced to shut by thieves? Email Sam.Lawley@mailonline.co.ukA cancer charity shop in a seaside town has been forced to close after it was targeted by heartless shoplifters.

The Chemotherapy Cancer Project in Herne Bay, Kent has been forced to close after it was targeted by heartless shoplifters. The charity shop's manager Graeme Sergeant , 70, said that shoplifting was a widespread issue in the area'I mean, who nicks a stopper out of a decanter? Who fills a van with four or five pieces of clothes when they're buying one - or not buying anything?'

The manager's wife Lizzie, 67, who is a volunteer at the charity shop, now has grade four cancer which has also contributed to the closure of the business. People have also been donating less recently, thanks to the cost of living crisis, and the 70-year-old revealed that a recent collection gathered just £34.

Mr Sergeant said: 'It does choke me up because I started it, I've seen it grow and it's now at a position where it can continue to grow thankfully. MK65 wrote: 'Not wishing cancer on anyone but I hope that the thieves have need for this charity's services in the future because thanks to their actions now, the service won't be available for them.'
