Robbery Richard Gladdle

Early this morning we had four masked men break down our font door and lock myself and my wife in our bedroom. I broke out and tried to grapple with them but when they threatened to kill me I backed off.

They stole all my stock that i was taking to the Birmingham fair this morning.

I am too too overcome to give a list now – but it was many thousands of pounds cost. I will send you an itemised list in the next few days – but here, for now. are few pieces will stand out.
