POLICE are appealing for information after unusual clocks were stolen during a burglary at a Headless Cross home.

Thieves broke into the house in Milton Close between 4-6.30pm last Wednesday and stole three clocks and a silver Motorola flip-phone.

The stolen clocks included an antique Ansonia mantel clock in cast iron, a chrome clock in a helicopter shape and a Westminster chime clock in light-coloured wood.

A police spokesman said: "We're appealing to anyone who noticed anything unusual in this area on Wednesday afternoon to get in touch.

"The stolen clocks would be very distinctive and we'd urge anyone offered these for sale in suspicious circumstances to give us a call."

Anyone with information can call Redditch police on 08457 444888 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
