Police in Poole are appealing for witnesses and anyone with information to come forward after the disappearance of three owls from a property in the Foxholes area of the town.

Sometime between 4pm on Wednesday 14 December and 10.30am on Thursday 15 December 2011, three barn owls were stolen or released without consent from an aviary at an address along Foxholes Road.

The missing owls include a male and female, aged around 20, and their 7-year-old daughter.

Police Constable Will Burnett, of Poole police, said:

"The owners have been keeping barn owls for over two decades and they are clearly distraught at the loss of their birds.

"I am appealing for anyone who has any information about those responsible for taking or releasing the owls and anyone who has any knowledge about the birds' whereabouts, to contact me as soon as possible."

Witnesses and anyone with information should call Dorset Police in confidence on 101.

Alternatively call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
