Appeal For Information Regarding Stolen Post Boxes
Over the last week we have received reports that four Royal Mail post boxes have been taken and another report where one was attempted to be taken in the rural area of South Warwickshire.
It is suspected that during the early hours of Friday 13th November the following post boxes were stolen:
The Royal Mail post box on Station Road, Bishops Itchington has been forced from the freestanding wall that once housed it and taken.
Another Royal Mail post box in Chadshunt including the wooden post that it was sat on has been removed and stolen.
A third post box was taken from Fosse Crescent, Princethorpe, which again has been forced from the freestanding wall and stolen.
Overnight between Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th November, the post box in Brook Lane, Moreton Morrell has been removed from the post it was sat on and stolen.
Between Friday 13th and Tuesday 17th November an attempt theft of the post box on Fosse Way, Radford Semele occurred where the front of the box has been ripped off and the contents inside taken.
All five of these were small metal cubed post boxes as shown in the photographs attached.
