A THIEF stole a set of car keys from a jacket pocket hanging up at the Dormy House Hotel near Chipping Campden on Thursday and used them to open a Peugeot 106 in the car park.

The offender then stole the car owner's driving licence and some bank cards before returning the keys to the pocket of the unsuspecting victim, a 48-year-old woman from Redditch. The incident happened some time between 8am and 4pm.
