The Charity Mine, an old World War 2 sea mine on Cobble Landing which collects money for the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society, was targeted by thieves some time between Friday, 7 and Monday, 10 September.

A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police said: "This is a particularly callous theft, particularly given the location of the container and the charity involved."

Enquiries are on-going and police patrols in the area have been increased.
