Three hand-carved wooden plaques have been stolen from the famous Italian Chapel in Orkney.
Police have now urged visitors to the site to send in their photographs of the chapel to narrow down when the theft could have taken place.
It is believed that the three mahogany plaques were stolen between July 29 and August 12.
The three missing boards were part of a set of 14 depicting the journey of Christ to the cross and were in open display in the Lamb Holm chapel.
Each plaque measures approximately six inches by eight inches in size with a cross on top.
There is an image of Christ carved on each and they are individually numbered by roman numerals.
The missing plaques are numbered IV, VI and X.
John Muir, secretary of the Italian Chapel Preservation Committee, said that he was “devastated” by the thefts, adding he couldn’t understand why anyone would steal them.
Pictures of the chapel and the plaques taken between July 29 and August 12 can be sent to police in Orkney on HighlandIslandMailKirkwall@scotland.pnn.police.uk
