Cancer Patient has Medical Records Stolen

A Chesapeake woman who is beginning treatments for cancer is pleading for the person who stole her medical records to return them as soon as possible.  Jessica Diehl says the records were in a laptop computer bag that was taken from her car at Portsmouth City Park Sunday afternoon sometime between 3pm and 6pm.

Diehl, a military veteran, says her papers are vital to her cancer treatment and are irreplaceable.  Not having them could affect her benefits from the Veterans Administration, she says.

Diehl has filed a report with the Portsmouth Police Department but says she would willing to forgo charges if the person who has the records returns them.

If you have any information, contact Portsmouth Police at 757-393-8536.
