Burglars take kitchen, inluding sink

A Yorkshireman recently returned from travelling the world to find burglars had stolen his entire kitchen. James Elstub, from Dewsbury, returned from holidaying in Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and the USA to find his kitchen had been stripped. Thieves broke in and took all the appliances and fittings in the room, Halifax Home Insurance said.

Mr Elstub said: “I can’t believe I returned home from my holiday to find burglars had stolen my kitchen sink. The criminals must have been bold, as it would have taken considerable time to strip the kitchen. “The burglary felt like a complete invasion. “My replacement kitchen arrived very shortly so I only had to put up with two weeks of microwave meals.”
