HUNDREDS of pairs of knickers, tiaras and T-shirts were stolen in a break-in at the Hop Pocket craft centre near Bishop's Frome.

They included 80 plastic sparkly tiaras worth £320 and 350 pairs of women's Bond knickers emblazoned with coloured lettering, including the words 'Fairy Horny' and 'Flirty Fairy'.

Also taken were 80 pairs of rainbow-coloured striped socks with the words 'Sock Shop Australia' in black letters on the side, as well as 50 children's T-shirts with the words 'Fairy Princess' in pink lettering or 'Pixie Prince' in green lettering.

A Dyson vacuum cleaner, a combined TV and video unit and a stereo were also taken.

The burglary took place between 7.30pm on Monday and 8am on Tuesday.
