A CALLOUS thief saw this heart-warming photograph of two brothers on a personalised phone cover – and then still stole the Apple device.

Mother Hannah-Legg, whose boys Quinton and Montague are pictured in the cute family photograph, has been left “really upset” by the theft of her iPhone 6.

She is desperate to recover the “precious photos and messages” that are on the phone, which was stolen from the baby group at Worcester Elim Church in Lowesmoor.

Her husband Christian Geuter is appealing to the offender or anyone with information to come forward.

“My wife hasn’t been able to sleep after the theft and is really upset”, said the father.

“The phone has so many precious photos and messages that we would be distraught if they got lost.

“It is useless to anyone else as it is completely secure and the authorities will be alerted automatically if anyone tries to re-register the phone or sell it on any online marketplace.

“The cover is quite a distinctive picture so we really hope it might just jog someone’s memory who can help our appeal.”

He added that his wife had waited “ages” to get the new phone while the personalised cover was a Christmas present.

The space grey Apple iPhone 6 was taken at about 11.45am on Thursday (March 26).

West Mercia Police have been informed of the incident.

Anyone with information should call officers on 101 quoting crime number 22CA19877E15.
