Hamilton police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who stole a donation box containing approximately $11,000 from a charity event over the weekend.
Supporters of the Ride to Conquer Cancer’s banquet dinner at Hamilton’s Sheraton Hotel at 116 King Street West in Hamilton paid an admission fee as well and donated to the fundraiser.
