A HANDBAG containing various items has been stolen after it was left on a bin outside an amusement arcade.

The bag, which belonged to a 16-year-old girl, was stolen on Quay Road, Bridlington, early Monday morning.

It contained a purse, a mobile phone, cash, a bank card and other items and was left for a short time sometime between 4am and 7am as the girl returned home following a night out.

After leaving the handbag she quickly realised it was missing and returned to the place where she put it down, but it had disappeared.

Following an exchange with a group who she saw nearby, the mobile phone was given back to her but the bag and items have not turned up.

Anyone with information is asked to phone Humberside Police on 101, quoting crime reference number 2210762.

Calls can also be made to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
