Medical records stolen from family home

Plymouth detectives are hunting for a burglar who stole a sick child’s medical records and precious family photos from a home in the city.

The offender entered the house in Ernesettle between 11am and 1pm on Tuesday 24 June while the owner was upstairs tending to her children.

They stole items left on the stairs in preparation for a family holiday, including medical records for the children, one of whom is seriously ill.
