AN appeal has been made for the return of a film stolen with a camcorder during break-in.
The silver Sanyo camcorder, in a brown and green leather-look bag, eight Fuji video tapes and a tripod were taken during a burglary at a house in Rose Lea, Witton Gilbert, near Durham.
A tan leather bag containing money and credit cards, and an eternity ring, were also stolen, in the raid, which took place between 6.45pm on Sunday and 7.10am the following day.
PC Nicola Quarmby, of Durham City police office, said the victim was particularly upset at the loss of one of the tapes.
"The tape in the camera contains irreplaceable images of a child who has since died, and I would appeal to who-ever has it to return it to the rightful owner.
"I would urge anyone with information as to the whereabouts of any of the items to contact police."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 0191-386 4222, or Crimestoppers on (0800) 555111.
