Police are urgently seeking assistance from the public after a burglary at Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park, which occurred overnight between September 5 and September 6.

Intruders forced their way into a building on the park's premises, making off with several thousand pounds in cash. 

The stolen cash includes both funds from the park's operations and money collected for charitable causes. 

In addition to the cash, a red Milwaukee impact driver was also taken.

Authorities are pursuing various leads but are particularly interested in any information about suspicious vehicles or individuals observed loitering near the park on the night of the incident. 

They are also appealing for any private or business CCTV footage that may have captured passing vehicles on the A399, specifically between Combe Martin and the Easter Close Cross junction with the A3123 and B3229.

If you have any information or can assist in the investigation, please contact the police at 101 or visit their website, quoting crime reference number 50240225848.
