Police are appealing for the public's help to find three striking paintings of lions stolen from an art studio.

Dorset Police said the paintings were among a number taken during a break in at Studio 19 in Broad Street, Lyme Regis, Dorset.

The distinctive paintings were taken from the studio above a bakery in the seaside town between 1 and 4 December, police said.

The force is urging anyone who has any information or sees the paintings for sale either online or locally to come forward.
