A SMARTPHONE and a picture frame were stolen from a car in Little Kingshill this week - prompting police to suspect the items may be used as Christmas presents.

On Tuesday a Vauxhall Zafira, parked in New Road, was broken into at around 7pm.

A Samsung Galaxy Ace mobile phone and the frame were stolen from the vehicle.

PC Roy Evans from Amersham police station said “The picture frame stolen is a custom made box frame coloured white with Pink paper butterflies inside.

“Will you be getting this stolen gift for Christmas? Have you been offered the picture frame for sale?”
