A police force has made a £50,000 donation to local charities for Christmas after recovering the money from the proceeds of seized property.
Cheshire Constabulary said one of the cheques, worth £6,700, had gone to Youth Fed, a charity which gives disadvantaged young people opportunities for employment and further education.
The charity also provides activities to kids and young people in Cheshire in an effort to divert them away from crime.
The force said the money, which has been split across six different charities, came from funds recovered under the Police Property Act from the sale of unclaimed property seized by officers.
