Round-up
Raiders make off with Koi
A NUMBER of Koi carp were stolen from various locations in Ludlow.
The fish were taken between about 7.30pm last Friday and 7am last Saturday from garden ponds at different ends of town.
Police believe they were stolen rather than eaten by herons, as in both cases garden plants had been trampled, a pump moved at one and a hedge damaged at the other.
Sgt Jonathan Smithson said: "These Koi carp are valuable. We have received reports of three men pushing a wheelie bin at about 5am on Saturday, which may be connected. It is possible they stored the fish inside to transport them away.
"I would appeal to anyone who might have seen people acting suspiciously around gardens, especially those with ponds, to contact police immediately.
"Or if you see anyone with a large container, such as a tank or wheelie bin which could contain a large volume of water, during the night or early hours of the morning then please call us on 08457 444888."
