Maidenhead & Windsor

Police are appealing for witnesses after a Maidenhead house undergoing refurbishment was burgled.

Sometime between 5pm on Wednesday 13 December and 8am on Thursday 14 December, intruders entered a house in Holyport Street, Holyport, through a rear window. The house is unoccupied and in the midst of substantial building works.

The burglars took a plasma TV and audio/video equipment worth approximately £4,500, as well as curtains, blinds and a bed.

Maidenhead PC Hayley Rathbone, who is investigating the burglary, said: “The stolen bed is a double divan, and the curtains are a very distinctive cream material with multi-coloured swirls and flowers. The thieves would have needed a van to remove these bulky items.”

If you saw anyone behaving suspiciously in the area at the time, or if you have any other information about the incident, please contact PC Rathbone on 0845 8 505 505. If you don’t want to speak to police or give your name, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
