Appeal for the return of stolen horse carriage
Have you seen this carriage?
The owner of a horse drawn carriage is making a personal appeal for its return, after it was stolen in a burglary from his barn at Quarry Farm Stables, North Kilworth.
The incident happened between 8pm and 10pm on Sunday May 24, when the owner returned to the barn, on Lutterworth Road, to find a padlock on the door had been broken and the door left open.
The carriage is described as a Lambert number 1, Drey carriage in green and gold. It has four cream wheels which are lined in gold. The carriage is distinctive as it does not have a seat on it as the rider sits at the side.
Also taken from the barn was a red and black, Giddens set harness which was in a cotton bag.
The owner of the carriage is offering a £1000 reward for its return.
PC Claire Murray, the officer investigating the incident, said: “The owner of the carriage is desperate for its return as it is so rare and as far as he is aware there are only around 10 on the country.
“The carriage is so distinctive that we are hoping someone will recognise it from the picture.
“It is also believed that due to the size of the carriage another vehicle, such as a low loader, would have been used to remove it from the farm. If you was in the area at the time and can remember seeing any suspicious activity then we would like to hear from you.
“If you have seen the carriage since or have been approached by someone trying to sell the carriage then again we would appeal to you to contact us, any information you have could help us with our investigation and reunite the carriage with its owner.”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact PC 4445 Claire Murray on Leicester (0116) 222 2222, follow the instructions to leave a message for a police officer and when prompted key in the officer's identification number 4445. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers, which is free* and anonymous, on 0800 555 111.
* Please note, some mobile ‘phone service providers may charge for this call.
