Silverware stolen during burglary at Market Drayton home
A number of silverware items were stolen during a sneak-in burglary at a Market Drayton home at the weekend.
Two silver boxes and a round silver tray worth a total of more than £300 were stolen in the burglary at a house in Berrisford Road between 10am Saturday and 7pm Sunday.
The thief sneaked into the premises through an unlocked front door and took the three items from a cupboard in the hallway.
Detective Constable Mal Normandin, the investigating officer, said the offender was probably only in the house for a few seconds before making a quick exit. The most likely time of the incident was between 10am and 2pm Saturday.
He said: “I am appealing for witnesses who may have seen someone acting suspiciously in the Berrisford Road area over the weekend period.
“I am also seeking information concerning the whereabouts of the three stolen silver items. The thief may well have tried to sell them on and anyone offered such goods in suspicious circumstances, should also get in touch with the police.”
DC Normandin can be contacted at Shrewsbury police station on 101. Information can also be given to the anonymous Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
