A REWARD is being offered for the return of a woman’s handbag and its contents.

In a rush to catch her bus, Kaye Whittaker left her handbag at a bus stop on Darlington’s Tubwell Row yesterday (Tuesday March 4).

Ms Whittaker is now appealing for the return of her bag, which contained important keys, cash and other items.

She said:  "Losing my bag is going to cost me hundreds and my insurance doesn't cover certain things.

"I'm willing to offer a small reward to get my bag back."

The navy blue Tula bag was left at the bus stop outside Darlington Building Society at around 5.20pm.

Anyone with information about the bag can contact Darlington Police on non-emergency number 101.
