Antique Armor a Target For U.K. Thieves


Police in the U.K. are searching for thieves who made off with an antique armor helmet from a hotel lobby.

Northumbria police said on Sept. 12, thieves stole the helmet from a display in the Derwent Manor Hotel in Allensford, located in the northeastern part of the country. The suspects then took off in a car.

Police said the helmet is valued at $1,100.

"If this was someone being silly and a prank then I'd appeal for them to return the helmet, it's a valued piece from the hotel and they want it returned as soon as possible," Insp. Kevin Oates said in a release.
