Children are being put through the hatches of recycling banks to steal second-hand clothing in Lincolnshire.
A recycling bank containing Oxfam donations at Morrisons' car park, in Wainfleet Road, Skegness, has been targeted five times since July.
Police warn the practice is "extremely dangerous" and say lives could be at risk, reports the BBC.
Eight bags of charity clothing were stolen in the latest incident. Oxfam officials say their shops are suffering due to the stolen donations.
Oxfam spokeswoman Sue Ray said: "They are putting a person into the hopper, usually a child, into a dark metal bank not knowing what's in there. It's got to be extremely dangerous."
Police community support officer Claire Scott said: "We urge those responsible to have a conscience and stop what they are doing."
