Police are releasing photographs of two distinctive sound speakers reported stolen after a burglary at a house in Seaview on the Isle of Wight.


The break-in happened sometime between midnight on the morning of Friday, December 10, 2010 and 1.30pm on Sunday, December 12, 2010.

Other items reported stolen from the address in Bluett Avenue include a black 38-inch Panasonic LCD TV.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Piers Rochford of Isle of Wight CID said:  “Police are following several lines of enquiry to gather evidence and identify possible suspects.

“We’re releasing photographs of the speakers reported stolen after the victim told us they are very rare and of great personal value. They feature artwork from the Greatest Hits album of the famous DJ Fatboy Slim. Only 20 sets of these speakers were ever produced.

“I would appeal to anyone with information about the speakers or the identity of those responsible for the burglary to contact detectives at Isle of Wight CID.”
