A fox has returned a woman's handbag not long after it stole the item.

Anna and Jeremy Clark were getting into their car when the animal initially took off with Anna's handbag, according to The Argus.

Jeremy recalled: "We were in the car park, and he looked at me for a few seconds before letting out this feeble yelp.

"Next thing I knew he had my wife's handbag in his mouth and was running towards the bushes."

He added: "Anna had everything in there: her phone, money, purse, keys and letters. I couldn't believe the fox had just taken it - it was mad."

However, a few minutes later, the fox crept back into the car park with Anna's handbag in its mouth, which he dropped at her feet.

Jeremy said: "I have no idea why, we couldn't believe it.

"We see the fox around quite a bit, I think people feed it."
