Bows and arrows have been stolen from an archery centre in Fife.

Concerned officers said the theft poses a “risk to members of the public” if the weapon kits are not “supervised in the correct manner”.

The break-in at Forest Spirit Archery Centre in Strathore Road, Thornton, happened at some point between 10.45am on Saturday, January 23 and 10.45am on Friday, January 29.

As well as the archery equipment, industrial tools and gardening furniture was taken.

Detective sergeant Gordon Stanford said: “Those responsible have stolen Compound bow and arrow kits, Recurve bow and arrow kits, a Wolf generator along with other tools and gardening furniture.

“Clearly these items represent a risk to members of the public and I am concerned about the danger these kits would pose if not supervised in the correct manner.

“I am appealing to anyone who may have been offered any of this equipment or who has knowledge of its whereabouts or who could otherwise help us recover these items to come forward.

“I would appeal to anyone who was in the area at the times of the theft and who witnessed anyone acting suspiciously or saw any vehicles in the area to contact us.”
