VE Day post box topper stolen, knitters say
The topper was placed in Hemdean Road in Caversham on Saturday
A postbox topper created to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day has been stolen, a group of knitters have said.
Sarah Roy, from the group which meets at Caversham's Weller Centre, said it had taken members about a month to create the feature, which included a woollen Sir Winston Churchill.
She told BBC Radio Berkshire it had been placed on the postbox outside Warings Bakery in Hemdean Road on Saturday but she noticed it had disappeared on Tuesday.
Mrs Roy said had she reported the disappearance to police but had yet to receive a response.
