Police are appealing for information after 46 koi carp were stolen from a garden centre in Snettisham, Norfolk.

The valuable fish were taken from a covered pond at Poppyfields Garden Centre between 5pm on Thursday, January 24, and 8.10am on Friday, January 25.

A sheet was forcibly unhooked from the pond and the fish, 31 weighing 20lb and the rest smaller, were removed into a vehicle.

This vehicle was parked near a fence next to the A149 - the fence was damaged to gain entry to the grounds.

Officers believe that more than two people were involved in the incident and that the fish were not damaged during the theft.

Investigating officer, PC Scott Lammas of Hunstanton Police, is keen to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time and may have noticed any suspicious activity, or anyone who may have been offered the fish for sale.

Anyone with information should contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
