THE Woods family of Hapton are offering a £100 reward for the return of Reggie, an 18-month-old red and blue parakeet stolen from their home in Valley Gardens at about 8pm last night. His cage and food were also taken.

Ron Woods said: "We only moved here from Rishton a month ago and Reggie was just beginning to settle down. He will die from stress unless he is returned to us.''

Anyone with information can contact Ron on 01282 434007 or Burnley police 01282-425001.
