On the morning of Thursday, 21st January, a valuable antique violin, a viola and a beautiful oak violin case were amongst the items stolen during a burglary at Robert Grummitt's violin shop in the High Street, Caterham-on-the- Hill. The three items, worth over £3,000 formed the shop's window display but more valuable violins from inside the shop were also taken by the thieves.

Mr Grummitt commented: "The thieves specifically targetted the valuable violins, because they had price tickets tucked inside them. The window glass is very thick so they went to great efforts to smash it. It is just weird, it doesn't add up - they will be very difficult to sell for cash. These are not easilydisposable items that burglars normally go for."

If you think you may have seen anyone behaving in a suspicious manner in the High Street before 7.00am on Thursday, 21st January please call Surrey Police on 0845 125 2222.
