Police in the Yorkshire village of Holmfirth were shocked to find the owners of a missing wedding album didn't want their treasured photographs returned to them, after a member of the public handed it into the police over fears it had been stolen, according to The Sun newspaper.

The officers issued a social media appeal to find the owners of a wedding photo album after it was found discarded in the rubbish.

However, the appeal backfired when the couple got in touch to tell them they didn't want it back.
