Heartless thieves steal presents from under great-grandmother’s Christmas tree

Callous thieves have snatched Christmas presents from under a great-grandmother’s tree.

The gifts were stolen from 87-year-old Bettie’s lounge room in the small NSW town of Mathoura on Friday night.

Bettie’s daughter, Ros, says “she could barely talk, she was so sort of heartbroken” after the theft.
