BBC News – Darlington brides £800 wedding savings stolen.

A bride-to-be’s money box containing £800 to help pay for
her wedding has been stolen by a burglar, police said.

The 30-year-old was working upstairs at her home in Hundens Lane, Darlington,
on Monday when the thief struck.

Durham Police said the burglar got in through the unlocked front door and
took the box, marked Pot of Dreams, from the victim’s mantelpiece.

towards her wedding in October,” he said.
