FOUR valuable bronze statues were stolen from the garden of a property on the Wentworth Estate in Virginia Water.
The statues, of varying size and shape, were taken by four men travelling in a white Citroen van, Surrey Police said.
The theft took place on Saturday (December 12) between 9am and 9.45am.
Detective Constable Simon Egan said: “These statues are extremely distinguishable pieces of art and of very high value.
“These items are very large and would have taken some time to remove from the property.
“I am sure someone will have seen something suspicious even if they had not realised it at the time.
“It is also likely that someone will come across these items, either through someone they know or in other circumstances.”
Anyone with any information on the thefts is asked to contact Surrey Police on 0845 125 2222, quoting reference RM/09/7981, or alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
