Police are appealing for information after a rare 16th century bible was stolen from a Conwy church sometime between October 25 and December 1.

The Breaches Bible, which dates back to 1589 AD, was stolen from St Mary’s Church in Trefriw, Conwy.

The bible, with a black outer cover, was secured in a locked glass cabinet in the church.

PC Nerys Thomas said: “The church has only been open four times between October 25 and December 1 and it’s believed that an implement was used to force the lock during one of the days when it was open.”

Anyone who may have witnessed the Bible being stolen or who may know of its whereabouts is asked to contact PC2505 Thomas on 101, quoting reference number RC13196544. Alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
