Thieves break into Wellington Amateurs Football Club
Items worth more than £600 were taken from a sports club on School Grove in Oakengates on Sunday 22 April.
Sometime between 2am and 2.30am, thieves removed a lock from perimeter fencing surrounding the club and then broke into Wellington Amateurs Football Club by forcing open the door to the clubhouse.
The thieves carried out a thorough search of the clubhouse before stealing a number of items - with a total value of more than £600.
The thieves also broke into the changing rooms at the club and stole some copper piping from the ceiling.
A police spokesman said:
"The items stolen from the clubhouse include a black, 32inch colour television and around £200 worth of soft drinks and confectionery.
