And a quantity of cigarettes.

A Police statement said: “Some of these are exceedingly rare, and consequently very valuable. Lower value items were left behind, so it appears that those responsible knew what they were looking for.

“It is a good possibility that some of these items have been offered for sale in and around the region, and we would like to hear from you if these items have been offered to you.”

“If you have any information that could assist us, please call 101 or speak with any police officer."
