Sheffield's Railway Hotel, a popular match-day pub located opposite the Sheffield United stadium on Bramall Lane, has fallen victim to a shocking burglary that left its landlady and the local community outraged. The thief or thieves stole a charity box, vandalised the premises, and made off with a quantity of money.
The crime was discovered on Monday, 25th November, after the pub had been closed for several days. According to Carol Donaldson, the pub's landlady, the intruder gained access through an upstairs window before proceeding to ransack the establishment. They forcibly removed a charity box chained to the bar, consumed vodka from the stock, and smashed glasses, leaving behind extensive damage and disarray.
Speaking about the incident, Ms. Donaldson expressed her anger, describing the culprit as a "low-life scumbag".
South Yorkshire Police confirmed they were alerted to the burglary on 25th November. A spokesperson stated:
"It is reported that a quantity of money was stolen, and the incident is believed to have occurred between 16th and 25th November. Enquiries are ongoing, and anyone with information that could help is asked to contact us.”
The public is encouraged to provide any relevant information via the police's online portal or by calling 101, quoting investigation number 14/209991/24.
The Railway Hotel is a well-known gathering spot for Sheffield United fans and a fixture in the community. The theft of the charity box has been particularly upsetting, as it represents a loss not just to the pub but to a good cause the funds were meant to support.
