TWO Romanian migrants who stole charity collection Boxes from multiple locations in the North West have been arrested, Politicalite can reveal.
Sources told Politicalite that the two women were arrested today in a British Heart Foundation shop in Bolton Town Centre.
We can also reveal that a man linked to the women was also arrested a few days ago and is now on remand in prison until after Christmas.
Earlier this month, Politicalite exclusively reported the shocking crime and the romanian connection.
The sickening thefts caused outrage across Britain after they were caught on CCTV brazenly stealing charity boxes for the Poppy Appeal and other Charities.

Megan Hudson, 20 the owner of Signature Textiles said she was “angry and disheartened” about what happened, but was determined to find the thief.
“The charity we were raising money for is very close to my heart as my mother is Annabelle’s one to one carer at primary school. This incident was reported to the police, but we’re still waiting on a reply.”
