A FAMILY is pleading for the safe return of two pet rabbits after claiming they were snatched from their garden.

Seline Harding, of Deansway, Chesham, noticed her beloved Mopsy and Fleck were missing on Tuesday morning when she went to check on them.

She said: "When I went out I noticed the male had gone. I assumed he had escaped, which they sometimes do, but then I saw the female had gone too.

"I think they've been stolen because they are worth about £25 each."

Seline's three children Haydn, eight, Bryony, five, and Niall, three, are all missing the bunnies and are hoping for their return.

Mopsy is large, grey and white with lop ears. Fleck is black and white, also with lop ears.

The disappearance has been reported to the police.
