Thieves broke into the back of Home Fires in Kingston Road, by forcing the back door, and made off with several cast iron fireplaces.

Among the stolen items were six cast iron fireplaces worth £6,000, a dark brown marble fireplace surround worth £1,000 and four wooden fire surround frames worth £1,000.

The thieves would have needed a vehicle to remove the stock and it would have taken at least two people to lift some of the items.
