Appeal launched after fossils stolen in Buxton
They were taken along with other items after Christmas
Offenders broke in to a property in Hardwick Square West at some point between 27 and 29 December and stole a large quantity of items.
They included two guitars, one of which was a Russ Wooton custom made guitar, a mandolin, jewellery, power tools and a large quantity of fossils including dinosaur bones.
Significant damage was also caused to the property during the burglary.
Then between 3 January and 4 January, a second incident occurred in the same street where a car was damaged and the two incidents are being treated as linked.
A bag of fossils which had been taken during the burglary was also left outside Buxton Museum and Art Gallery in Terrace Road between 9am and 10am on January 3.
Officers are keen to hear from anyone who may have any information on the burglary as well as anyone who may have been offered any of the stolen items for sale.
