Trolleys torn apart for £1 coins
`Vandals took apart dozens of supermarket trolleys in the mistaken belief they contained £1 coins. [..]
They took apart the handles of each trolley before stacking them in a neat pile in a black bin bag left nearby.
Police believe they did not realise the £1 coins are returned when shoppers take the trolleys back. [..]
A Durham Police spokesman said: “We can only guess that those responsible have never used a supermarket trolley before, otherwise they would know where the money goes.”‘
