Today a fourth robbery to the Lifeline offices in Newcastle west added salt to the wounds of the charity having already been subjected to 6 previous robberies at outlets across Newcastle since Saturday.
The thieves made off with Cameras, Laptops, and cash while also vandalising the Lifeline premises totalling damages of over $10,000.
Police believe the charity is being targeted because it is perceived as an easy target to the thieves despite security systems being present at all of its centres.
Despite the devastating effect of these break ins, Lifeline services will run as normal.

IRC hearing into John Hunter staff shortages called off.
An Industrial Relations Commission Hearing into staff shortages at the John Hunter Hospital has been called off following encouraging talks yesterday.
The dispute is before the Commission after Hunter New England Health successfully applied to prevent theatre staff from carrying out industrial action earlier this week.
The Nurses Association has accused the Health Service of failing to fill 7 theatre nurse positions and relying on overtime to meet required staff ratios.
However, tomorrow's hearing in the IRC has been postponed after management guaranteed to have all the positions filled by the end of the month.
