Appeal for witnesses to Bagshot church burglary

Detectives are appealing for information following a burglary at Bagshot Methodist Church.

The burglary took place between 3:30pm on Sunday, 5 February and 8:30am on Monday, 6 February at the church and pre-school on London Road.

The offender/s forced open the fire doors to gain access to the property and once inside stole a number of items from the pre-school and main church area including mobile phones, digital cameras, CD players and a small sum of petty cash.

Detective Sergeant Chris Greatorex, of Guildford CID, said: "For thieves to target a place of worship is despicable.  I am appealing for anyone with information about this offence or anyone who was in the area around Bagshot Methodist Church on Sunday evening (Feburary 5) and may have seen someone acting suspiciously to contact police."

Anyone with information can contact Surrey Police on 101 quoting reference SH/12/470 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Call 101 for all non-emergency policing matters.

Call 999 if you have a genuine emergency requiring the attendance of the police (eg a crime is in progress or someone is in immediate danger).

Call independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if you have information about crime and don't want to leave your name.
