First World War medals stolen in burglary

Police are asking local antique dealers and jewellers to be on the lookout for several stolen First World War medals.


They were awarded to a soldier called James Joseph Wimms and were taken from a house in London Road in Whimple during a burglary earlier this month.

They include a Distinguished Conduct medal and a 15-star medal made of bronze with a red, white and blue ribbon.

Anyone offered the medals for sale should contact the police.
