A British tourist has lost several thousand dollars' worth of cash and jewellery, after a dingo stole a bag containing her valuables on a New South Wales beach.
Several witnesses told police they tried to warn the 58-year-old woman that the dingo was approaching her on Jimmys Beach, just north of Newcastle last Wednesday.
One beachgoer took photographs of the animal as it disappeared into nearby dunes carrying the bag, which contained valuable items of jewellery, cash and lollies.
Police searched the area for several hours but found no trace of the bag or its contents.
Distinctive markings helped rangers to identify the rogue dingo, which has been shot and killed.
