A woman visiting Bristol for a birthday trip during half term has been left heartbroken after her car was broken into. Hannah Gill had been collecting new toys from a number of shops in the city as part of a charitable scheme for vulnerable children, but was left devastated to find these were among the items stolen.
Ms Gill arrived in Bristol on on Thursday, October 27, with her partner and had parked on the third floor of the Mercure Grand Hotel's car park on Broad Street at around 11am. The couple spent the day at Wake The Tiger, exploring the city and went for dinner at a family-run Italian restaurant.
After dinner, at around 8pm, Ms Gill says she went to the car to grab her pillow, before she and her partner went for a stroll around the city and back to the hotel. She said: "In the evening me and my partner went back to the car to drop off our things ready to go and explore a bit more of Bristol and get some food.
