A man has been charged following a break-in at a pet store in Camberley in June.

James Latham, 48, of Bagshot Green, Bagshot, was charged with burglary following the incident at Two By Two Pets on June 11.

The shop in Ansell Road allegedly had one of its window smashed and a total of four charity boxes stolen.

Arthritis Research UK, Cats Protection, RSPCA and Chimney Farm Rescue charity boxes were stolen from the store.

Staff believed the cash value inside of the Chimney Farm Rescue box was around £80, with no substantial amounts of money in the other boxes.

Speaking shortly after the alleged theft owner, Andrew Backhurst said: "It's just so low. It's not even proper theft is it?"

The 56-year-old was bewildered as to why anyone would want to break the law for such a low amount of "change and shrapnel".

Mr Latham pleaded not guilty and is next due to appear in court on September 11.
