£1M RAID ON MANOR

THIEVES have stolen more than £1million worth of paintings and antiques in a raid on an isolated manor house.

The burglars targeted Fuidge Manor, near Okehampton, Devon, while owner Patsy Waddington was out of the country.

The haul included a Turner watercolour worth around £250,000. Mrs Waddington said: "I just cannot believe it. I live very quietly here and do not advertise I am wealthy."

Police have appealed to antique and art dealers to look out for the post code EX17 5ED stamped on the stolen items.
