LONGVIEW — CPS officials tell our news partner KETK more than $20,000 in gifts for foster children in the Longview area have been stolen. The gifts were purchased with donations to the Child Welfare Board and were bought by volunteer shoppers. Several big ticket items were included in the gifts, such as iPods and TVs. The gifts were being kept in a storage room until they were to be delivered to the foster care families in the area, but the room was broken into. CPS says their donations to the children will fall short this year because of the theft. Longview Police are investigating the incident.
