Detectives are hunting thieves after endangered birds and more than two dozen eggs were stolen from a college.

Police received reports of two rare geese, one duck and their eggs being stolen from Hadlow College overnight on Saturday.

It is believed that the wire to the coop, in which the high-valued animals were kept, was cut in order for the animals and their eggs to be taken.

The theft happened between 7pm on Saturday and 8.30am on Sunday at the college site in Tonbridge Road.

The thieves are reported to have stolen a female Laysan Teal duck and 12 eggs, a female Nene goose and five eggs and a female Maned goose and 12 eggs.
