A HAUL of antiques has been stolen in a house burglary.

The items, said to be of great sentimental value to their owner, were taken during a break-in in Gilesgate, Durham City, on Friday, March 20.

Police believe a man and woman in their mid-20s to late 30s were responsible.

The haul included a bronze Nepalese lion, a Priscilla Han cold cast bronze horse, a blue glass and sterling silver sugar pot and a red glass, double-ended scent bottle.

Two matching Doulton blue and green vases were taken from the mantelpiece.

Anyone with information is asked to call Durham Police on 0191-375-2811 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800-555-111.
