CROOKS stole a nine-seater mini bus from a domestic abuse charity - which it says is the “final straw” after such a tough year for the team. Bosses at Changing Pathways, who are based in the Parklands Centre at Felmores End, Basildon, say the theft has come as yet another blow after the hit of Covid-19. It will see them unnecessarily pay out money they don’t have, if it’s not found. Having had their Ford Tourneo taken late Sunday evening, the charity has since had to rely on staff to fill its role - which is transporting children suffering from domestic abuse and women who are fleeing.
