Two English tourists robbed of their personal belongings soon after arriving in Whangarei have pleaded for the return of their photos.
William Sheldon and friend Isabel Boanas-Evans lost two bags that contained their passports, a wallet, two Kindles, five memory cards and a camera after their campervan was broken into at the Tarewa Rd information centre carpark about 2pm on Wednesday.
The camera contained about 3000 photos the duo took on their five-month holiday to India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and so far in New Zealand.
They've been in New Zealand for nearly five weeks and the only warning to them in that time was from a man in Auckland who advised them to be careful.
A window in the campervan was forced open and their belongings stolen during the 15 minutes they were inside the i-Site.
