Bottles of spirit worth many thousands of pounds have been recovered by police after being stolen in burglaries across London and the south east.

In several raids on commercial properties in the past six months – including one in Bromley in November – alcohol and designer goods were taken.

The luxury haul includes a bottle of The Macallan Distil Your World London Edition whisky, one of which sold for £8,540 at Bonhams last month.

There was also a bottle of Mount Gay Tricentennial Rum, released in 2003, an example of which has previously sold for £4,600.

Other spirits seized include: Remy Martin XO Premier Cru Cognac; Hennessy XO Cognac; Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge Cognac; Armagnac Nismes Delclou Brandy 1980; Tortuga Gold Rum bottled 1980s; Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc De Blancs 2006; Veuve Clicqout Champagne 2008; Brunello Di Montalcino Champagne 2012; and Louis Roederer Champagne 2009.

Two pairs of spiked Christian Louboutin trainers (a red pair and white pair), spiked Versace hightop trainers (black and white) and Dolce and Gabbana trainers (gold sequin crown, black, white, red).

The value of the clothing seized amounts to several thousands of pounds and includes such items as a Burberry cardigan, Philipp Plein red boots and Maison Martin Margiela silver boots and Fendi belt (grey and white).

Some of the stolen items were in the process of being sold on via auction companies.

DC John Davis of the South East Command Unit, said: “This property is believed to have been stolen from non-residential burglaries from all over London over the last six months.

"We have either intercepted the property as it was stored by suspects ready for collection or intercepted the items as they were attempting to sell them on via auction companies.

"We also seized property when we executed a warrant in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire on Tuesday, 15 March and various spirits and clothing were seized.

"Two people, a man aged 36 and a woman aged 34, were arrested and remain under investigation for burglary and handling stolen goods from a number of different offences.

"Some of the items have now been successfully reunited with their owners, but we are keen to identify more victims. Some of the items, especially one of the whisky bottles and one of the rum bottles, have a very high-value and others may have sentimental value because they are rare or could be part of a collection.”

Anyone with any information, or who believes any of the property is theirs, is asked to call police on 101 or contact via Twitter @MetCC. Please quote CAD 1475/17MAY.
