Benemerenti medal recently stolen in a burglary. Keep an eye out, dealers. -Editor
A rare medal awarded to members of the clergy by the Pope has been stolen from a man’s home in the Black Country. A Benemerenti medal - an honour awarded for service to the Catholic Church - was taken from the property in Clarence Street, Upper Gornal, on the afternoon of April 17. Police have circulated images of the medal to local second-hand shops to alert staff in case the item is offered for sale. A watch was also stolen in the burglary. Anyone offered the items should call police on 101 or alternatively information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. To read the complete article, see:
