Thieves have stolen a metal plaque erected in memory of two young boys who were killed in an IRA bomb attack in Warrington, Cheshire.
Tim Parry, who was 12, and Johnathan Ball, aged three, died in 1993 when two bombs detonated in the town centre injuring 54 people.
The A3 size plaque is thought to have a scrap metal value of no more than ?30.
Tim Parry's father Colin said the theft was "soulless, heartless and just very offensive".
He said: "My reaction is one of incredulity that somebody would be so heartless and without any conscience, and just calmly walk along and take something that has minimal [cash] value but huge emotional value.
'Disgusting' act
"I find it hard to get into the minds of people who would perform an act like this". The things people stoop to for a few pounds - an absolute disgrace !!
