A PREGNANT woman has had important maternity notes stolen after her Mildenhall home was raided.

Two handbags, containing the notes, were stolen from a property in De Havilland Court between 8pm on Monday and 9.30pm on Tuesday.

A Suffolk police spokesman said they were anxious to find the bags as they contained the only copy of important medical notes belonging to the woman, who is 32 weeks pregnant.

One of the handbags has been described as a canvas Reebok bag with beige straps, while the other was a denim Moto bag.

They contained various personal items including passports, a mobile phone and a quantity of cash and vouchers.

The police spokesman added: "We are appealing for anyone who may have information relating to this theft to contact us as a matter of priority.

"It may be that the offender has discarded the bags not knowing or realising the importance of the contents. If you find a bag matching the descriptions provided, please hand them in at your local police station."

Anyone with information about the missing items should contact Detective Constable Greg Moore, of Suffolk police, on 01284 774100.
