HUNDREDS of pounds of first and second-class stamps have been stolen from a North Yorkshire office.

Burglars forced a side window at Kirby and Co financial advisors in High Street in Starbeck, Harrogate, between 5.30pm on June 10 and 8am on June 13, stealing stamps worth £248.

PC Ross Hakin, of Harrogate Police, said: “This is a rather unusual theft and one we are keen to get to the bottom of.”
