Police in Telford are investigating a burglary in Coalport in which five vases were stolen.

Unique vases stolen during Coalport burglary

The break-in occurred at Jonathan Harris Studio Glass Limited sometime between 5pm on Saturday 26 October and 7am on Sunday.

Overnight thieves smashed a window at the premises, which sits within the grounds of the China Museum.

Once they had smashed the window they reached in through it and stole five hand made glass vases from inside.

A police spokesman said: “Each of the vases stolen is valued at around £500 and each one is unique. In addition, around £1000 of damage has been caused to the premises as a result of the window being smashed.

“We have today released photos of two of the stolen vases and we would be very keen to hear from anyone who may have seen them, or who may see any that look quite similar in the next few days.

“We are very keen to trace these vases as soon as a possible so that we can return them to the business who suffered this break-in.

“Anyone with information about this incident, or any of the stolen vases, is asked to call police in Telford on 101, quoting incident number 212S 261013.

“Alternatively, please remember that information can also be pass on anonymously by call the independent charity, Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.”
