Model cars worth £3000 stolen from Taunton home

A valuable collection of model cars was stolen from a home in Taunton last week.

The collection is estimated to be worth around £3000.

Police say that entry was forced into the property on South Road, Taunton, and the model collection was stolen along with a brief case, jewellery, TV and camera.

The collection consisted of well-known models dating back to the 1960s and included recognised makes such as Corgi and Dinky. Many were unboxed but in mint condition.

Members of the public and second hand dealers are being urged to contact the police if they have any information about the whereabouts of these models.

Anyone with any information should call the Somerset and Avon Police on 101 or contact the police online using the Avon and Somerset Police Crime Contact Form.
