Police are appealing for information to help them trace a pair of sculptured heads which were stolen from the gateway of a country house near Ruthin.
The Blackamoor heads were stolen off the gateposts of Plas yn Llan in Efenechtyd overnight between Thursday 5 August and Friday 6 August.
The iron busts, which were cemented onto the gateposts, are of an important historic interest, as the house itself dates back to 1653 when Jacob Conway owned it. The Conway family crest had a Blackamoor in it, hence the busts on the gateposts.
Anyone who may have seen someone acting suspiciously in the vicinity of Plas yn Llan, or who may know of the whereabouts of the Blackamoor busts is asked to contact Sgt Mavis Evans at Ruthin Police Station on 101, or 0845 6071001 (Welsh line), 0845 6071002 (English line) or Crimestoppers Wales on 0800 555111.
