Knives, ivory ornaments and a historic telescope have been stolen from a vacant house in Guernsey.
Guernsey Police said the ten ivory items, several knives, a glass paperweight, two vases, and an iron field telescope had been stolen from the Castel home in a "targeted burglary".
The force said it had asked local and UK militaria dealers and auction houses whether the items had been presented to them, but the items had not been traced.
Officers asked anyone who had seen the items or been offered them for sale to come forward.

Guernsey Police said ten pieces of ivory had been stolen
They said the ivory pieces included two elephants, an owl, a bookmark, a pair of boots and five male figures.
Also stolen were a multi-coloured paperweight, a red glass vase, a blue china vase and the telescope which is thought to originate from World War Two, they added.
