The Corps’ most high-profile charity has lost $1,500 in donated gifts.

A city spokeswoman in Suffolk, Va., said there is “understandable outrage” following the theft from a local Toys for Tots facility.

“The community is reaching out accordingly,” Suffolk spokeswoman Debbie George said.

George said the suspect or suspects made off with six bicycles, 20 MP3 players, 20 digital cameras, 20 watch and wallet sets, and a heart necklace set.

The theft occurred at a storage facility in a rural part of Suffolk between Nov. 29 and Dec. 1, George said. There was no sign of forced entry, but police did find a defective lock on one of the doors.
