"The theft of many items which carry a significant cultural value is a significant loss for the city. These items, many of which were donations, form part of a collection that provides insight into a multi-layered part of British history, and we are hoping that members of the public can help us to bring those responsible to justice."
"The men being sought are described as: Male one: white, of medium to stocky build, wearing a white cap, black jacket, light-coloured trousers and black trainers; Male two: white, of slim build, wearing a grey-hooded jacket, black trousers and black trainers; Male three: white, wearing a green cap, black jacket, light-coloured shorts and white trainers. He appears to walk with a slight limp in his right leg; Male four: white, of large build, wearing a two-toned orange and navy/black puffed jacket, black trousers and black and white trainers."
More than 600 artefacts from Bristol Museum's British Empire and Commonwealth collection were stolen from an offsite storage facility on 25 September between 1am and 2am. Avon and Somerset police detectives want to speak to four men and have released CCTV images. Police described suspects' clothing and physical details, noting one man with a slight right-leg limp and another wearing an orange and navy puffed jacket. Detectives said many stolen items were donations with significant cultural value that provide insight into a multi-layered part of British history. Anyone recognising the men or seeing possible items for sale online should contact police on 101.
