Despicable. That's the only way to describe the burglars who broke into the Laureldale Pub & Grill in Mays Landing over the weekend and stole donations intended for St. Jude's Children Research Hospital.

Hamilton Township Police say the thieves entered the bar early Saturday morning, disabled the security system, and stole cash from a locked cabinet and register.

Damages to the building exceeded $3000, according to police.

But the most galling part of this crime was the theft of money collected at a Pub fundraiser for St. Jude's. The crooks took donations clearly marked for the research hospital focused on helping terminally ill children,  then left the empty envelope behind! As I said, despicable.

If you have any information concerning this theft, please contact the Hamilton Township Police at 609-625-2700.
