Antiques Stolen From Car In Redditch
Police are appealing for information about a theft in Redditch in which a number of antiques were stolen from a vehicle.
The items were in the boot of the silver Daewoo Tacuma, which was broken into in Cyprus Avenue, Astwood Bank, between 10pm on Monday 21 November and 7.30am on Tuesday 22 November.
Taken was a Beswick Highland bull figure, two Suzie Cooper coffee sets - one from the late 1930s and the other from the 1960s, four plates, a Crown Devon figure of a little girl in green which dated from the 19th century, a large Victorian hand painted lamp, a small Royal Worcester pot painted with lilies, a Royal Worcester vase painted with several sheep and a small blue Royal Gloucester pot decorated with gold leaf.
The items were wrapped in bubble wrap and were in plastic and cardboard boxes.
The owners had been planning to auction them to raise money to buy Christmas presents and only realised they had been stolen when they went to have them valued and found the boot empty.
It was not known how much they were worth but it is estimated it was in the region of £1,500.
Witnesses or anyone with information, including anyone who sees them offered for sale at an antique shop or car boot sale, are asked to contact West Mercia Police on 0300 333 3000 quoting incident 489-s-221111 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
