Officers from Market Harborough local policing unit are appealing for information to trace the whereabouts of items stolen in a garden theft in Goadby.
The incident happened sometime between Wednesday September 30 and Friday October 9, 2009 when a garden sculpture was stolen from the back garden of a property.
It is described as Zimbabwe Serpentine statue of two vultures. It is made of stone and is 3ft tall.
Also stolen between these dates was a chicken coup which contained eight chickens.
DC Frances Rathbone, who is investigating this incident, said: “Due to the size and weight of the items taken, a vehicle would have been used to move them from the site.
