Exeter police are trying to track down a Dunkinâ thief who allegedly swiped a jar with about $100 in donations for a local woman in need of a kidney transplant.
Police responded to the Dunkinâ on Portsmouth Avenue in Exeter just before 7 p.m. on Sunday to investigate the report of a theft.
According to Police Chief Stephan Poulin, officers checked the area and two hotels on Portsmouth Avenue, but had no luck finding the thief.
The jar was being used to collect donations to benefit Deborah Brown, an Exeter woman and longtime teacher on the Seacoast who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 kidney failure.
