Police hunt Northampton chicken thief

Police are appealing for information after two men climbed a garden fence to steal a chicken from a Northampton garden.
The chicken was one of two taken from the garden of a property in Towcester Road between 11am and 7pm last Friday. A witness saw two people climb over a garden wall and take the two chickens. One was returned to its owner, but the Weissmuller, which has the same colourings as a pheasant, is still missing. Police would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the chickens being stolen or to anyone who may know of the whereabouts of the chicken. Witnesses or anyone with information about the whereabouts of the chicken is asked to contact police on 03000 111 222 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
