Police are appealing for the return of an ornamental brass tortoise taken from behind the bar of a pub.

The tortoise was taken from the Jolly Sailor, in Quay Street, Orford, between Friday, July 6 and Thursday, July 12. It is thought to weigh about a kilo and is of sentimental rather than financial value.

Anyone with information about who took the tortoise or where it is now should call Woodbridge safer neighbourhood team on 101.
