Chelsea defender Reece James has revealed gifts intended for charity were stolen from his car while he served food to hungry children.
England international James, who is attempting to raise £100,000 for over half a million meals, returned from to his car after the Felix Project event on Wednesday to find the window of his vehicle had been smashed.
The 21-year-old posted a picture of the damage on his Instagram account.
In a post on his Instagram Stories, James said: "Another rewarding experience with the Felix Project today serving meals to the younger generation.
"Hopefully we spread some joy ahead of a challenging Christmas period.
"Unfortunately, I was met with huge disappointment when returning to my car. During the event, someone felt the need to break in and steal gifts that I was due to go and donate later in the day."
