NIGHTGUARD Bunbury owner Travis Birch is calling it "the worst burglary in 15 years" in the Davenport area.
At 3am this morning Foodbank Bunbury were targeted for the third time in two months when burglars tore through the front half of their building and tried to run down the Nightguard security officer.
As the officer drove into the carpark and approached the two burglars they rammed into his vehicle and tried to run him down, Mr Birch said.
"After the night guard left to seek safety the burglars went back into the property through the window they had broken, attached a chain to the safe and their tow bar of the car and tore it through the wall, dragging it down the street, Mr Birch said.
"They then ram raided the security guards car again - that is now a total write-off, the car was worth $15,000."
Bunbury Foodbank manager Carol Hearn was appalled at how someone could target a community driven organisation and said the money stolen would take a long time to save-up.
She was unsure of the total damage costs to the building and would have to wait until insurance claims were lodged and approved.
"The staff rattled their purses to get that float up and running, we are a charity organisation, we don't just have spare money lying around, any spare money we have goes straight to food," Ms Hearn said.
"This is someone who knows that safe was there because the first time they came they didn't get anything, the second time they moved the safe but it was too heavy and now this time they have planned it and got away.
"We have to replace all the locks, the safe was bolted to the floor so now we have to fix that, buy a new safe, build the wall again and we don't have that sort of money."
She said the police were doing everything they can and patrolling the area at night.
Ms Hearn said it was sad there were people in the community who would do such a brazen thing but obviously there were desperate people out there in search of a dollar.
If you would like to donate money to help Foodbank get back on their feet, Ms Hearn said drop in to Foodbank Bunbury located at 5 Clifford Street, Davenport.
