manchestereveningnews.co.ukA holidaymaker returning from a cruise says his wife's hand luggage was stolen from an overhead locker on board a TUI flight to Manchester Airport.
Chris Broom said the bag contained valuable jewellery including pearls, two passports, prescription medicine, a driving licence, cash and an iPad, together with other important documentation, but he says Greater Manchester Police haven't investigated properly, despite CCTV and passenger lists being available.
