Car among items stolen during Telford house burglary
Police in Telford are appealing for information after a burglary occurred sometime between midday on 1 January and 8am on 2 January while the occupant of the house was on holiday.
Sometime during the time period thieves broke into the property in Madeley by smashing a window in a patio door at the back and then forcing the door open.
The thieves then carried out a thorough search of the entire house before stealing a number of items and making their escape in a grey, 04 registered Ford Focus that was parked on the drive. The thieves had found the keys to this car in the house.
