Polie are appealing for help from anyone who may have seen these posters for sale or seen them up in a house anywhere.

Detective Sergeant Claudia Musson from the Volume Crime Unit said: “I am aware that there is nearly a month passed since this incident and we have been using this time to not only follow lines of enquiries to catch those responsible, but also to try and trace the posters.

“We are keeping an open mind as to whether the home was targeted for these particular items and we would ask if anyone has been offered similar items for sale or indeed have seen them suddenly appear on display in someone’s house, that they contact us.”
