'Risk to public' as Fife thief snatches bow and arrows from Scots archery centre

A Fife thief is on the run with a number of stolen bow and arrow kits and power tools, posing a "risk to members of the public."

Police Scotland is appealing to anyone who may have information after the break-in at Forest Spirit Archery Centre, Strathore Road in Thornton.

The robber snatched equipment and industrial tools from the archery club between 10.45am on Saturday, 23 January and 10.45am on Friday, 29 January, 2021 say cops.

Detective Sergeant Gordon Stanford of Glenrothes CID 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 through 101 quoting reference number 1429 of Friday, 29 January, 2021.

“Alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.”
