Also stolen in the burglary, which took place overnight between 10.45pm on Saturday, August 21, and 8.30am the following morning, were ticket stubs for the British Lions 2009 tests in South Africa.

Detective Constable Emma Adams, of Barry CID, said: “The items stolen are very distinctive and we are appealing for any information that could lead to their return.”
