THIEVING SCUMBAGS
Christmas presents destined for sick children at the intensive care unit of Great Ormond Street hospital have been stolen.
Police were called to the hospital in London on Monday after a report that up to 20 wrapped gifts were taken.
The presents, which had been bought from the hospital's charity fund, included portable DVD players, DVDs, Nintendo DS games consoles, games and toys.
They were stolen between Friday and Monday, and were taken from a non-public area of the hospital, the Metropolitan Police said.
Inspector Neal Anderson said: "To steal presents that were supposed to be for children too sick to be at home with their families at Christmas is beyond belief.
"I would urge anyone who has information about the individual, or persons responsible, to contact officers so that we can try and get the items back before Christmas Day.
