A police spokesperson says three men aged 41, 45 and 49 are due to appear in the Hamilton District Court on Monday January 18 jointly charged with burglary.

'The Goldie painting titled ‘Sleep ‘tis a Gentle Thing' remains outstanding and Police seek the public's help with any information that may lead to the recovery of this painting.

'If you have any information, please contact Police on 105 and quote file 210103/2961.

Not the brightest lot are they! Quite surprised though how this valuable art is owned by people living in Ham East.
