Stolen Tortoises
My parents had their pride and joy, 14 tortoises ( 6 adult & 8 babies ) stolen from them on Monday 21st July 08 (early hours) from their back garden in Cosham, Portsmouth. They are utterly heartbroken and inconsolable and are preying for their safe return. They have had their eldest adult for 25 years and have bred the eight babies themselves. 3 of the adults need desperate medical attention and will die unless they recieve specialist treatment. They have devoted their lives to these Tortoises.

These are the details:
1 adult male Spur
1 adult female Spur
2 adult male Hermanns
2 adult female Hermanns
3 Juv Spurs (nearly 3 years old)
3 Juv Hermanns (nearly 3 years old)
The babies were taken in their sleeping boxes and the adults were lifted out.
Have you heard of anyone trying to sell tortoises? It is important that everybody knows that it is illegal to sell tortoises if you are not registered.
ANYONE WITH ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE RECOVERY OF THESE ANIMALS WOULD THEY PLEASE EITHER CONTACT ME ,PORTSMOUTH POLICE, THEIR LOCAL RADIO STAION, OR THE TORTOISE SOCIETY.
Reward for safe return or information leading to.
Thankyou so much for reading and your support.
