Police are appealing for information after £10,000 worth of horse riding equipment was stolen during a burglary in Benthall near Ironbridge.

£10,000 worth of horse riding equipment stolen from near Ironbridge

The incident occurred between 9.30pm on Wednesday 20 May and 7.10am on Thursday 21 May in a rural location.

Offenders gained entry to two sheds near to horse stables and stole riding equipment including horse rugs, saddles and reins alongside a garden strimmer.

Due to the large quantity of property stolen, it is thought that the offenders would have been there for sometime and with a large vehicle.

PC Dan Follows, the investigating officer, said: "This incident has caused upset and distress for the victim, as the items stolen hold sentimental value and have been collected over a number of years.

"I urge anyone who saw suspicious activity in the area or who has seen similar items being sold to call police on 101, quoting incident 62S of Thursday 21 May."

Information can also be given to the independent charity, Crimestoppers, via 0800 555 111 or www.crimestoppers-uk.org
