More than a dozen stone slabs believed to be roughly 175 years old have been stolen from a wall near a Powys border village.

Police are appealing for information about the theft which happened on Wednesday, July 17, in the Newcastle-on-Clun area.

Around 15 top stones that vary in size and weight were all quarried from the same type of stone during the mid-1800s.

Anyone with information about the theft is urged to contact the Bishop's Castle Policing Team by sending them an email to bccar.snt@westmercia.police.uk
