Treasured war medals stolen on train

An Exeter man's been left distraught after his father's war medals were stolen as he travelled back home by train after his dad's funeral.

64 year old Keith Ridings was on the 11.17 train from Birmingham to Exeter on Tuesday.

He had the treasured medals in a bag which he placed on a luggage rack - and which was gone when the train arrived at Exeter St Davids.

The medals aren't worth much but have huge sentimental value to Mr Ridings - and he's asking whoever took them to hand them in to police.
