A MOBILE phone was stolen from a Wokingham town centre restaurant last week.

At around noon on Tuesday, February 16, a man entered Baranda in Peach Street asking for charitable donations on behalf of disabled and deaf children.

A customer had left his phone on the counter, and when he came back to collect it, the man collecting money had gone and the mobile phone had been stolen.

The man collecting donations is described as white, about 5ft 8in tall with short spiky brown hair, of skinny build and was wearing a white T-shirt. The man spoke in a way pertaining to be deaf.

Police are keen to speak to two men who were in the restaurant at the time having a working lunch. If anyone has any information relating to this incident, they should call the Thames Valley Police enquiry centre via 101.
