Officers are appealing for information after approximately £5,000 worth of historical artefacts were stolen from a business in Stoke-on-Trent.

It is believed that four offenders forced entry into a building off Biddulph Road shortly before 7pm on 7 June.

They loaded a trolley with historical maps, mining artefacts and mining equipment before loading these into a black Peugeot parked on Whitfield Road.

Officers are conducting inquiries locally, including reviewing CCTV footage, and urge anyone who may have witnessed the theft to get in touch.
