Police say they are investigating the theft of the £330 television from the lounge of the flat in Butts Meadow, Wisborough Green.

A spokesman said: “It is believed a ladder was used to gain access through an upstairs bathroom window some time between 10am and 10.30pm while the property was empty.”

Detective Constable Jon Tizzard added: “Nothing else was stolen from the property. I would like to hear from anyone who was in the area and who saw any suspicious activity.

“We are also keen to recover the television set which is described as a Panasonic Model TX40CX400B.”
