Cheshire Police warn antique dealers to be vigilant following theft of distinctive ornaments

Police are warning antique dealers to be vigilant following the theft of distinctive ornaments in Hartford.

A number of items were stolen in a burglary and may be offered for sale to dealers, pawn shops or online auction sites.

Detectives are also appealing for dashcam and CCTV footage that may help identify those responsible.

The burglary occurred sometime between 11pm on 1 April and 7.20am the following day at a house in Beech Road.

PC Dan Lee said: “The ornaments are quite distinctive so I would urge any dealers or pawn shops who come across the items pictured to contact police. The same goes for anyone who was in the area around the time of the burglary who may have captured suspicious activity on their dashcam.

“If you have a doorbell camera or CCTV which has captured anything of interest in connection with the burglary please contact us.”
