A greedy seagull swooped down and stole a pensioner's false teeth after she took them out to eat a biscuit.

Renee A'Bear, 92, was feeding the birds and having a cup of coffee outside her care home when her dentures ended up on the menu.

Staff at Eridge House Residential Home in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, later found the teeth - worth hundreds of pounds - on the roof.

Boss Linda Stevens said: "All of us, including Renee, have seen the funny side.

"But she's going to be a bit more circumspect in future as to which birds she feeds."
