£8,000-worth of fish reported stolen from Hemel Hempstead garden pond

Detectives are investigating in Hemel Hempstead, after eight thousand pounds-worth of fish were reported stolen.

The 37 Koi carp were taken from a garden pond on Thursday night last week (21st April).

Entry was gained to the rear garden of a property in Honeycross Road, where a socket set was also taken from a shed.

Detective Constable Nia Hadly, from the Dacorum Local Crime Unit, said: “Understandably, the victim is very upset and we’re keen to trace those responsible for the theft as soon as possible.

“We’re appealing for anyone who witnessed any suspicious activity in the area, or who may have captured any CCTV of note, to please come forward.

“We’re also keen to hear from anyone who may have come across Koi carp being advertised for sale in suspicious circumstances.”
