Two ornamental bulls sitting on the top of two gate pillars outside a home have been stolen - and the owner is offering a reward for their safe return.

Police in Medway have launched an investigation after the identical metal bulls disappeared from an address in Spekes Road, Hempstead.

They were stolen sometime between 6pm on Wednesday, February 23 and 11.30am the next day.

The bulls are about 2ft long and 1ft tall and weigh about 30kg each.

The owner is offering £100 to any information that may lead to their return.

PC Amanda Taylor said: "The bulls are of great sentimental value to the owner and they are obviously very keen to get them back.

"We would like to hear from anyone who may know who took them or knows where they are now."

If you know where the bulls are, call police on 01634 792 531 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
