Police are investigating an alleged scam in which household goods were stolen from a Bristol warehouse and sold from Devon via eBay.
Brabantia ironing boards, kitchen utensils and other goods valued at more than £10,000 and £5,000 in cash have been seized by police.

They seized the goods from houses in Barnstaple and Umberleigh.

The police believe they were stolen from a warehouse near Nailsea, Bristol.

Four people were questioned on 7 February over offences including conspiracy to steal, and bailed.

Investigating officers also raided a house at Weston-super-Mare and seized further Brabantia goods and about £3,000 cash.

Those questioned at Weston-super-Mare included a 27-year old Umberleigh man and a 62-year-old Barnstaple woman. They were bailed to appear in court on 11 May.

Police believe products stolen from the warehouse have been on sale since the middle of last year.
