TWO Perth police officers have helped spread Christmas cheer far and wide this festive season.
A woman from regional Western Australia was visiting Perth and when she got off a bus she realised her phone had either been lost or stolen.
She reported the matter to police, a person of interest was identified and the mobile phone was returned.
Senior Sergeant Simon Underwood said the owner had been extremely grateful and purchased a gift card for the officers in appreciation.
