Live shark stolen from shed
A rare shark used for breeding has been stolen from a shed in Hampshire.
The 2ft long female marble shark was half of the only breeding pair in the UK and kept in a private aquarium.
But over the weekend owner Peter Newman, 68 found the doors to the aquarium open and the £2,500 shark missing.
Police say they think the creature - from Indonesia - could have been stolen to order as they are very rare in the UK.
A police spokesperson said: "We believe this may have been a targeted burglary of a shark that is extremely rare in the UK.
"The victim is desperate for the fish to be returned and we urge anyone with information about the burglary to contact us.
"Due to the unusual type of shark it will be difficult to sell in this country."
