Bedfordshire Police have launched an appeal for witnesses after guns and ammunition were stolen from a house in Staploe.
On Wednesday afternoon (19 June), just before 4pm, four men broke into the property and made off with four shotguns, a rifle and a quantity of ammunition.
They were seen driving a white Volkswagen Golf.
Investigating officer, detective constable David Pawelek, said: “We are keen to recover the stolen weapons and enquiries are underway to identify those responsible as well as to recover the firearms.
“We would urge anyone with any information to come forward as this will help us with our investigation.
“Burglary is a priority for the force, and we remain absolutely committed to apprehending those responsible.
“We understand the impact that this type of crime has on victims and how distressing they can be – nobody has the right to enter someone else’s home uninvited or under false pretences and make them feel unsafe.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact DC Pawelek on 101 or visiting the forces online reporting centre and quoting reference number 40/34723/19.
Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 111 555.
