Bo'ness tot's Christmas presents stolen from under the tree
Nicola Rose (31) first noticed that one of her daughter Courtney’s presents, which was bought by a family friend, was missing on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas Day she realised some more gifts were also missing and, realising they must have been stolen, quickly informed police.

“We now believe the thefts happened on Sunday, December 23 at around 5.30am as a neighbour saw a man coming out of our front door holding cards and we do have two Christmas cards missing.
“I felt horrified at the thought of someone being in the house while we were sleeping and actually stealing a child’s presents from under the tree.
“How nasty and heartless can you be? It ruined my Christmas day knowing what had happened but luckily Courtney is only two and didn’t realise so she still had a good day.

“We are hopeful police will be able to catch those responsible though. All I want now is for justice to be served.”
