AN elderly woman who was saving up pound coins to treat herself to a holiday has had her savings stolen by thieves.

The burglars targeted the property in Lyndhurst Road, Amesbury, sometime between 10am and 5.45pm on September 20.

They took a light blue ceramic pig with the words 'holiday pig' written on the side - a gift from a friend - which contained about £86 in one and two-pound coins.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Salisbury Police's priority crime team on 0845 4087000, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
