Havant police appeal for the return of an elderly woman's lost purse with ‘great sentimental value’ - as it contains the last photo of her deceased partner
CCTV shows a woman picking up the black purse, which was dropped by its elderly owner outside One Stop in Middle Park Way around 8pm on Tuesday, November 15, according to police.
The purse held great sentimental value to the owner, whose deceased partner purchased it for her before he passed.

The owner is desperate for the photos and purse itself to be returned - the other contents are not her concern, according to a Hampshire Constabulary representative.
Posting on social media, the police representative said: ‘CCTV has been checked and the purse was picked up by a white female, dark hair with parting over her left side, black jacket with fur hood and silver zip, blue ripped jeans.
‘She was with a child on the school run at the time she found the purse.
