The owner of a football museum has said the support it has received has been "immense" after being broken into.
The Fans Museum in Sunderland, based in the city's former Monkwearmouth station, had its till stolen alongside other items in the early hours of Monday.
Michael Ganley, the museum's director, said it was the 20th time the building had been targeted, which had cost him about £20,000 over the years.
But Mr Ganley added he had to "persevere " because it was a community hub which brought "people together through their love of football".
A spokesperson for Northumbria Police said an investigation had been launched and inquiries were ongoing.
