“Unfortunately this happened a couple in the district a few weeks back. Seeing someone’s face when they realise the sentimental jewellery is gone isn’t easy however this week we were delighted to bring back a smile.

“After hearing about the couples story, an officer who had been awarded a meal voucher for excellent work decided the couple would be more deserving. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to get the jewellery back yet but hopefully this will lift spirts a little!”
