Burglary, Braunton
Police are appealing for information after £21,000-worth of electrical equipment was stolen from a small business in Braunton – with criminals even taking the victim’s Henry hoover.
Detectives are investigating a burglary at a commercial premises in Velator Way between 3pm on Friday 15 May and 9am on Saturday 16 May.
Officers have appealed to the public to keep any eye out for distinctive items stolen - such as a drone and photographic kit.
They believe the items could have been offered for sale in the South West, and may possibly be in the Somerset area.
A television and drill were also taken.
