Burglars escaped with a large haul of antiques after breaking into a house in a Cheshire village. Now police are warning dealers across the north west to be vigilant as the crooks attempt to move on the distinctive ornaments.
The items taken include silver plates, and jugs, snuff boxes, and a metal-capped walking stick.
Several pieces have a snake design. Police believe the items may be offered for sale to dealers, pawn shops or online auction sites. Fifteen items were taken and the total value is thought to be several thousand pounds.
