A heartbroken mum said a thief 'has stolen Christmas' after her purse containing the money she had saved to buy her daughter's presents was taken
A heartbroken mum said a thief "has stolen Christmas" after her purse containing the money she had saved to buy her daughter's presents was taken. Amy Carlisle, 37, has epilepsy and learning difficulties and was hoping that the festive season would be the highlight of the year for her family.
She said that her daughter also has epilepsy and autism. "I just felt sickness in my stomach", she said. Besides the money, the purse also contained Ms Carlisle's bus pass and her phone. Amy's mum, Jenny Carlisle, said her daughter had a 'difficult' year. "She was doing okay lately and I was concerned that the incident would put her back. She was absolutely devastated."
Ms Carlisle had to have her bank cards replaced, as well as her bus pass. She has got a replacement for her phone - although she is still paying the contract for her stolen smartphone.
