Thieves take car and valuables in Shrewsbury burglary
A car and valuables worth thousands of pounds have been stolen during a raid on a Shrewsbury home.
Burglars forced open the front door of the terraced home in New Park Street, Castlefields, sometime between 7pm on Sunday and 8.50am yesterday.
Once inside they made a full search of the premises before stealing car keys and making off in a blue Vauxhall Astra, registration number KF53GFZ, together with property worth around £7,000.
A West Mercia Police spokesperson said today: "We are appealing for any information which might help us identify the offenders and trace the stolen property. Contact Shrewsbury police station on the non-emergency 101 number."
Among the items stolen were a Samsung 26-inch television, Dyson vacuum cleaner, Nintendo Wii console, a framed Peter Smith painting, clothing, a large selection of CDs, a Tom Tom sat-nav system, cash and jewellery including watches.
Information can also be given to the anonymous Crimestoppers independent charity by calling 0800 555 111, for which a reward may be paid.
