THE mum of a disabled Carlisle woman has issued a heartfelt appeal after her daughter's precious necklaces have gone missing.

Irene Roberts-Green has contacted the News & Star to ask for help, after her daughter Corinne lost her two necklaces last week.

One of the necklaces was bought for her 21st birthday by her brother, who died suddenly in 2003.

Mrs Roberts-Green said: "She is absolutely devastated.

"Gregg was my best friend and certainly was Corinne's. When he knew he would not live he said I can't look at Corinne because I know I am not going to be here for her, he loved her very much."

Gregg was in South Korea in 2006 when he suddenly starting getting headaches, it was then that doctors told him he had three weeks to live."

The family believe the necklace was lost somewhere in Carlisle city centre on Thursday.

The timeline of Corinne's movements is as follows:

  • Finished work at Tullie House at 3pm, before leaving the building at about 3.20pm
  • Met a helper in Carlisle Library at 3.30pm
  • Realised the necklaces were lost at 4.30pm in the Cumberland Building Society
