POLICE have appealed for a good Samaritan who reunited a burglary victim with her handbag to contact them.

Crooks broke into a home in Stile Hall Road, Chiswick some time between November 21 and 22, taking the bag and a number of other items.

The handbag was found discarded a short distance away and returned to the owner but police are keen to speak to whoever found the bag to help with the investigation.

Whoever was responsible is asked to call PC Anil Devila at Hounslow Police's burglary and robbery squad on 020 8247 5940. All calls will be dealt with in confidence.
