Dalek Stolen

Blobrana · L

Police believe the thieves (who may go by the group name of `Defenders of the Earth`) must have had to use a vehicle to move the Dalek.

“The Dalek could have been stolen to order or somebody could have taken it as a joke. It is obviously quite distinctive and somebody must know where it is.” - PC Neil Wolstenholme
Police are asking anyone with information to contact PC Wolstenholme at Wells Police Station on 0845 4567000

The owners of a visitors’ attraction are offering a £500 reward after a full-size Dalek was stolen.
The 5ft model, believed to be an original from the cult BBC Dr Who series, was taken from Wookey Hole Caves near Wells , UK, overnight on Monday.
Bosses say it is worth thousands of pounds and promise to pay the reward for its safe return "or capture".
A spokesman said: "There may be a black market out there for Daleks - but it's still a strange thing to steal."
