Police are appealing for information after a number of bronze statues were stolen from a sculpture studio in Somercotes.
Thieves broke into a business just off Nottingham Road on Tuesday, 30 December, and made off with two sculptures of dogs and another of a horse.
CCTV shows the offenders arriving in a car at the scene at about 10.20 p.m., during which they stole a number of items before leaving.
Police said:
‘The same car returned at about 11 p.m., this time with a white flatbed Citroën Relay van, and the offenders were seen stealing further items before driving off.
‘The suspects are described as three or four men – two of whom were white and wearing dark clothing.
‘Officers have made extensive enquiries into the incident, and we are now asking the public for help as part of our investigation.
‘We have released images of the stolen statues in the hope that someone may recognise them.
‘If anyone tries to sell you one of the statues pictured, or you see them for sale – either online, in a shop or at an event – then please come forward.
‘In addition, we would like to hear from anyone who has Ring doorbell, dashcam or CCTV footage that covers the area of the incident and has not yet spoken to officers.
‘Information can be passed to Derbyshire Police on 101, incident number 25*0760372.
