Following a nationwide appeal on social media, three victims of crime have now been identified after the woman pictured contacted police.

The appeal was launched as part of an ongoing investigation into a series of burglaries across the country including Devon and Cornwall.

Memory cards were recovered during the investigation and detectives released pictures of three potential victims they were keen to identify, including photographs taken on holiday in Thailand.

The woman pictured, from Lincolnshire, contacted police after a family member saw the appeal on Facebook.

Detective Constable James Brice, based at Totnes police station, said: “I would like to thank everyone who shared the appeal with friends across the country. Without your help the victims would not have been identified as quickly as this.

“The victim appears to be very happy that she will be reunited with her stolen property.

“We can now continue with our enquiries into this investigation.”
