A VICTIM of crime in Andover has issued a heartfelt plea for the return of a bracelet belonging to her late grandfather and a set of family photographs which were stolen, along with her handbag and other belongings, in the town this week.

Amanda Williams, aged 35, who lives in Tenerife but is staying with her parents in Charlton Road, Andover over Christmas, was on her first day of working as a temp in the warehouse of Homebase in Newbury Road, Andover on Tuesday when her possessions went missing from the manager's office.

The blue denim oval-shaped Ravel bag also contained a purse and cash, keys and a mobile phone. The theft occurred between lunchtime and 5pm.

Anyone with information should contact Andover police on 0845 045 45 45 - or hand the possessions into the Andover Advertiser at our offices in London Street, Andover.
