A camera could help catch a thief who broke into a pensioner's home while she was in hospital.

The Olympus IS200 camera and the victim's pension book were among property stolen in the raid on the house in Fallowfield Crescent, Hove.

Police want anyone offered a similar camera to check if the serial number 1142818 is stamped on it.

The burglary was discovered when the victim's son went to check on his mother's house on Monday.

Anyone with information should phone PC Steven Smethurst on 0845 60 70 999.
