As part of the national lockdown, all charity shops are closed in Milton Keynes.
However, a number of donations have been left outside the Barnardos charity shop in Oldbrook.
In a Facebook post, Thames Valley Police reminded the public that the charity shops are closed due to them being non-essential.
They also stated that leaving donations outside charity shops creates rubbish and risks the donations not being used in the right way.
Residents are asked to wait till non-essential shops re-open before making donations.
