Police are investigating a break-in at two tea sheds belonging to a church group after crockery, cutlery and decorations were stolen.

The incident happened at Priory Church in Edington and is believed to have occurred overnight between September 27 and 28.

Wiltshire Police said the sheds had been pried open before a box of table decorations, crockery and cutlery was taken.

PC Simon Gomm said the theft would have a significant impact on the group.

He said: "These items have been stolen from a small church group which receives little funding so this incident will no doubt have a real impact on those who use the group."



Officers are appealing for anyone with information about the break-in to come forward.

Anyone who witnessed anything suspicious in the area, or who may have information that could help the investigation, is asked to contact police on 101 and quote crime reference number 54260117332.
