MORE than 500 quarry floor tiles were stolen from a home in the Bromyard area last week.

The tiles were removed from a locked, vacant home near Felton some time between 9pm on Tuesday, October 8 and 8am on Thursday, October 10.

Police said the 15cm by 15cm tiles are similar to those found in churches and are thought to be relatively rare due to their patterns and size.

The tiles are brown with a cream motif and have W Godwin Lugwardine Hereford stamped on the rear.

Around the same time a set of metal livestock hurdles were taken from an unlocked barn in the same location, in a theft police described as “unusual”.

Anyone with any information can call 101 quoting incident reference 0398s 101013.
