A PARROT in a silver cage has been stolen from a farm near Dover. The theft took place from a locked mobile home which acts as the office for the smallholding in Church Hill, Temple Ewell.

The parrot, called Basil, is described as green and white and has blue bits in its tail. He has recently moulted and appears ruffled.

Police want to hear from anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious, or anyone with information.
