Appeal after 'high-value' painting stolen from home in leafy village

Art thieves are being hunted by detectives after a 'high-value' painting was stolen during a burglary at a house in a leafy Cheshire village.

The painting by Ayrshire contemporary impressionist Alexander Millar, which measures around 5ft by 6ft, was taken during a break-in earlier this month.

It was the only thing stolen during the raid and holds 'particularly sentimental value to the victim', who is said to be 'devastated', police said. It's understood to be worth several thousand pounds.
