HEARTBROKEN newlyweds are appealing to a cruel thief to return treasured only pictures of their romantic Caribbean wedding.

Carol and David Scott tied the knot in a barefoot beach ceremony during a fabulous fortnight's holiday in Jamaica last month.

When they got back home they were looking forward to sharing their memories with the friends and relatives they had left behind. But their celebration party was ruined when someone stole David's new digital camera that had been a birthday present from Carol.

The couple, of Northumberland Avenue, Bishop Auckland, are desperate to get back the disc inside that was filled with the only photographs they have of the wedding.

The camera was stolen from the Sunnydale Leisure Centre, at Shildon, on Saturday night. Anyone with information should call police on (01325) 314401
