A woman has lost out on her first paid job as a broadcast journalist after her video camera was stolen.
Leanne Mulligan, 22, has recently graduated as a broadcast journalist and was bought the camera - worth £3,000 new - by her parents so she can begin to find work.
She had her first paid job lined up next week - but has had to cancel after the camera was stolen, either from her Seat Ibiza car at Ingleby Barwick's Tesco store or outside her home on Chalfield Close, or from inside her house.
Leanne said: “It is really upsetting - I don’t think people will realise how much it meant to me.
“My parents had to make sacrifices to buy this for me. I have been doing a lot of voluntary work, doing promotional stuff for local football clubs, and that was on the camera.
“But for my first paid job filming next week, I have had to get in touch with them and cancel now.”
Leanne, who coaches the girls under 10 team and plays for Norton and Stockton Ancients, and is now appealing for people to keep lookout for the camera.
“The camera was either taken from my car, or somebody has come into my house and took it. It’s frightening.”
The JVC GY-HM600 camcorder was stolen between 6.30pm on Tuesday March 24 and 3pm on Wednesday March 25.
Two men, both aged 34, were arrested on suspicion of theft from a motor vehicle and have both been released on bail pending further enquiries.
Anyone with information regarding the theft is asked to contact DC Rachael Smith on the non-emergency number 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
