Police are asking residents to be on the lookout for a pet thief after an unusual robbery in Churchtown.
A beloved family tortoise was stolen under the nose of its 90 year old owner who is suffering from dementia in what is being described as a heartless crime.
The tortoise was kept in a secured garden and houses in a protected shelter but the 30 year old tortoise was taken by an unknown animal thief at some point on Sunday afternoon.
Officers say if anyone is offered a tortoise for sale they should contact 101 immediately
