Religious artefacts have been found dumped in a plastic bag on an estate in Fulham.

Eight crucifixes and a plaque depicting Jesus Christ were discovered by police officers from Hammersmith & Fulham carrying out a patrol on Clem Attlee Estate on July 24.

Police suspect they were stolen from a church, and have released an image of the loot in the hope of finding the owner.

PC Ryan Campbell, from Fulham Broadway Local Policing Team, said: “The crucifixes and plaque are wooden and brass. We believe they may have been stolen from a church and would like to return them to their rightful owner.”
