Police hunt child grave thieves
Thieves who took toys from children's graves are "heartless and despicable", police have said.

Two Disney figures and glass pebbles were taken from the grave of two children, at Kidderminster Cemetery, Worcestershire, during the weekend.

More items, including a crystal cross, were taken from another child's grave during Tuesday night.

The child's mother said she was disgusted. Police are appealing for the thieves to return the items.

Amongst the stolen items are figures of Bambi and Winnie the Pooh, three glitter ball ornaments and two Winnie the Pooh solar lights.
