Thieves swipe over £30,000 worth of merchandise from city toy store

Unknown thieves have caused heartache for the owners of In Demand Toys, a family-run toy business in Norwich, after breaking into their store and swiping over £30,000 worth of stock. The culprits gained entry by cutting the fire door in half. The stolen items included specialized action figures and collectable toys, with the most lucrative item being a £500 Transformers premium figure. The owners, brothers Nick and Matt Wells, who have been in business for two decades, have been left feeling vulnerable and have had sleepless nights since the incident. They expressed gratitude for the support they have received from their loyal customers and other competitors in the industry. Unfortunately, the stolen stock cannot be replaced in time for upcoming Comic Cons, impacting the business further. The police are investigating the burglary and are urging anyone with information to come forward. The owners have also asked the public to remain vigilant and report any bulk sales of toys matching their stolen stock.
