Armed robbers seize coins at fair
A group of coins was stolen from the London & Midland Coin Fairs taking place at the National Motorcycle Museum earlier this month.
In a statement, West Midlands Police said: “We’re investigating after a large quantity of antique and collectable coins was stolen during an armed robbery in Coventry Road, Solihull, at around 2.45pm on January 9. Two masked offenders – understood to be armed with a machete – assaulted two men as they grabbed items and made off in a vehicle. Fortunately the men were not seriously injured.”
