Video: Thieves stoop really low with poppy tin thefts
Christopher O'Neill, 33, from Derby was jailed for 18 weeks for stealing a poppy tin from an Argos store in the town.
It contained just £4 and he used the money to pay his bus fare home. He admitted to police that he "couldn't stoop any lower."
His solicitor told the court hearing that he had a heroin addiction.
While in Calgary, Canada, Dwayne Shane Soroka, 31 is wanted by police for the theft of a poppy collection box from a liquor store.
