UPDATE: Stolen memorial to stillborn baby has been FOUND
It's after Rock FM's appeal from the baby's heartbroken parents
Police say a memorial to a stillborn baby that was stolen in East Lancashire has been FOUND - intact!
Yesterday, we heard from heartbroken dad Kyle Livesey, begging for the rosebush and plaque to be returned - after it was taken from his backyard in Clayton-le-Moors last week.
PC Paul Pountain from Accrington Police said: “This is a truly shocking and sickening theft considering there was a plaque inside the pot clearly marking that it was in memory of a lost child. It meant the world to this baby’s parents who are still grieving after their loss which only happened back in May.
“They are understandably very upset and just want the pot back. What adds to their suffering is that the remains of the baby were inside and so I urge the thieves to search their conscience, do the right thing and either speak to us or hand it back to the couple themselves.”
Now, it's said it's thanks to ROCK FM listeners and the public that's it's been spotted in Clayton-le-Moors - and it's back where it belongs.
