Owl centre break-in leaves staff upset
12:09pm Friday 29th August 2008
Staff at the Furness Owl Centre in Barrow have been thrown into uncertainty about the future of the centre after a break-in this week.
Police are appealing for information after thieves broke into the centre at Sandscale Park in Barrow.
They stole a small amount of cash and two small young Chaco owls each worth £400 between 5pm on Wednesday (August 27) and 9.15am on Thursday (August 28).
This is the sixth time in three years that the owl centre has suffered a break in and several birds have been stolen or killed.
Police say staff were upset and are now uncertain about the future of the centre.
