Police are appealing for information after thousands of pounds worth of fishing equipment was stolen during a burglary.

Fishing equipment stolen during Telford burglary

The break-in happened at an address in The Cloisters in Wombridge some time between 12am and 5.30am on Saturday.

Thieves gained entry to the garage, which is attached to the property, and stole around £2,500 worth of equipment.

Items stolen include three fishing rods, including two Middy rods and one Waggler rod.

Also stolen were two Fishrite rod bags, a tackle box, a holdall, a trolley, some keep nets and two reels.

A Telford Police spokeswoman said: “It is likely that thieves may try and sell the items. If you are offered such items for sale, or know where they might be, we would urge you to come forward.”

Telford Police can be contacted on 0300 333 3000. Alternatively, information can be passed anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
