Criminals have been targeting churches in Nottinghamshire in a series of crimes police believe are linked. Two churches – St Leodegarius in Church Road, Basford, and St Mary the Virgin and All Souls in Highbury Road, Bulwell – were broken into overnight on March 1.
The break-ins were discovered the following day. A third, St Wildrid's, in Church Drive, Wilford, is believed to have been targeted overnight the previous evening.
Valuable silverware was stolen on each occasion – including a set of six candlesticks from All Souls in Bulwell. Another church, St Mary's in Plumtree, was broken into overnight on March 1.
