THIEVES have stolen a guinea pig from its hutch in a rear yard at Beech Street, Cross Hills, near Keighley.

The pet - which has a white body with large brown patches over its eyes - disappeared overnight last Wednesday.

Police are still trying to establish the full circumstances but say they are satisfied the guinea pig was not taken by a cat or fox.
