Stolen American Legion donations discovered

Posted:

DELMAR, NY – Stolen items from an American Legion in Delmar were found on Saturday. NEWS10 ABC told you first about the story on Friday.

Nearly a thousand dollars in donations were missing when a car was broken into on Thursday night. The donations were for an upcoming fundraiser for World War II Veterans. The fundraiser raised money to bring veterans to the WWII Memorial in Washington D.C.

On Saturday, some of those stolen items were recovered. A Good Samaritan found valuables scattered along a bike path located less than a mile away from where they were stolen.

Organizers say they are happy to get some of the donations back. Since Friday, organizers say the community has stepped forward to help out.

Donations are still being collected until Monday. If you are interested in donating towards the fundraiser please e-mail your name, contact information, and donation offer to news@news10.com  or log-on our Facebook page and post your information there.
