Sci-Fi items stolen during Telford house burglary
Police in Telford are investigating after a burglary at an address on Dukes Hill in Ketley Bank yesterday.
Thieves broke into the property sometime between 11.45am and 3.10pm by smashing a window in the patio doors at the back with a brick.
Once inside the property, the thieves carried out a thorough, untidy search of the property before stealing a number of items and making their escape.
Among the items stolen were a wedding ring, a number of antique Star Wars models worth around £200 and some Star Trek magazines.
In addition, around £450 in cash was also stolen as a result of this break-in.
A police spokesman said:
"The victim - a lady in her 60s - has been left devastated by the break-in as the stolen items are of great sentimental value to her.
"She has no idea who broke into her home but she did receive a visit from an unknown man offering window cleaning services a short time before she went out yesterday morning.
"Officers investigating this incident would like to speak to anyone who may have information about it and are especially keen to speak to the man who offered his services as a window cleaner so they can establish exactly who he is.
"Anyone with information about this burglary is asked to contact police in Telford on 101 or 0300 333 3000, quoting reference number 390S 101212.
"Alternatively, please remember Crimestoppers can also be called anonymously on 0800 555 111 if you'd rather leave information without getting directly involved yourself."
