‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ cannon stolen during burglary
The one-and-a-half-tonne cast-iron cannon thought to have been used in the Hollywood blockbuster franchise were taken from a farm in Devon
A pair of cannon believed to have been used in the Hollywood blockbuster Pirates Of The Caribbean have been stolen.
Devon and Cornwall Police said the one-and-a-half-tonne cast-iron cannon were taken from a farm in Dalwood, near Axminster, between May 28 and June 1.
Officers investigating the burglary are seeking the public’s help to reunite the replica cannon – worth around £5,000 – with their owner.
They would like to identify a large, black recovery vehicle with a sheeted load that was seen entering the village at around noon on June 1 and have CCTV images of the truck.
“Officers would like to identify the vehicle pictured in CCTV images from the A35,” a police spokesman said.
They added: “The owner of the cannon was told on purchasing them that they had been commissioned for use on the film set of Pirates Of The Caribbean.”
