The folks at Toys for Tots are seeking last-minute donations to replace a truckload of toys that were recently stolen from a warehouse in Eureka.

Local law enforcement made an arrest in connection to the toy heist last week. Unfortunately, less than one pallet of toys has been recovered so far, according to Gregg Gardiner, a longtime coordinator for the Toys for Tots in Humboldt, Trinity, Del Norte and northern Mendocino counties.

Anyone wishing to help can send a donation to 2383 Myrtle Ave. Eureka, CA 95501, or donate through the Toys for Tots website.
