Bramley police appealed for information about 168 artistic pens, not just 17 as reported in other media, taken from a house on 22 January.

Lieutenant Colonel Lungelo Dlamini said the theft was discovered by the owner, and thieves may have gained entry through a sliding door.

They ransacked a music room where household items were thrown all over the floor. Only gold and diamond-studded pens were found to be missing.

John Pearson of John Pearson and Associates LTD is offering a substantial reward through Lloyds Underwriters, for information that would lead to recovery of the pens in good condition.
