Unique collection of war-game figures stolen from collector in Hemel

A box containing around 100 of the 28mm tall metal wargaming figures was stolen from outside an address on Varney Road as the owner was unloading his vehicle on 6 October 2019.

Enquiries to trace the items have been unsuccessful and so a further appeal for information is being made.

A Hertfordshire Constabulary spokesperson said: “I appreciate the theft of these items took place some time ago, however I’m appealing to anyone who may have seen them to get in contact with us.

“The items are unique and part of a 40 year old collection the owner has amassed since 1980 and so they have great sentimental value.

“Any information which could assist in locating these items and them being returned to the owner would be appreciated.”
