ANXIOUS police are appealing for help after guns and ammunition were stolen during a daylight raid on a North Yorkshire home.
Three shotguns, an air rifle and jewellery were among the haul taken in a break-in at Shipton-by-Beningbrough, near York.
It took place on Monday, between 8am and noon, while the occupants were away from home.
As well as jewellery and a .22 air rifle, the thieves took a Lincoln over-and-under double-barrelled 20-bore shotgun, a Lincoln side-by-side double-barrelled 20-bore shotgun, a Gardone over-and-under double-barrelled 12-bore shotgun and cartridges.
"We are very concerned about this raid and are appealing for any help the public can give," said a police spokesmen yesterday.
They would like to hear from anybody who knows about the burglary itself or the present whereabouts of the stolen firearms. Contact Northallerton CID on (01609) 789452.
