Antiques stolen in house burglary: Noseley
(LE7 - Wednesday, 20 May, 2009)

The incident happened between 6pm on Saturday May 9 and 1.20am on Sunday May 10, when the owner of the property discovered that a front window to the property had been forced open.

Upon further investigation the owner found that a number of items had been taken from the property.

Items taken include:

• a large dark wood, antique clock that has a carved frame and a silver and gold pattern on its face
• a large silver urn and a sliver platter with the words "Proaris Et Focis" inscribed

It is believed that the suspects left the building through the same window that they entered.

The owner of the property has released images of the clock and the platter in the hope that they will be returned.
