LASER guns were stolen during a burglary at a Wirral tourist attraction.
Raiders broke into the grounds of the Brimstage Maze in Brimstage Village in the early hours of last Friday, August 26, and forced entry to three buildings.
They made off with twelve '"Lazer-Tag" guns, a large petrol engine lawn mower and mobile phone.
Extensive damage was also caused during the burglary.

The stolen guns are not real weapons but are used to play laser games.
They include a small silver pistol-style "ref's gun," two large black carbine assault rifle-style guns and nine smaller carbine assault rifle-style guns with either blue, red or black bodies.
Detective Inspector Gary Stratton said: "Brimstage Maze is a very popular local tourist attraction and people travel from far and wide to visit it.
"The Lazer-tag guns are harmless but could easily be mistaken for real firearms.
"They are not very common and therefore if anyone is offered them for sale locally there is every chance that they belong to Brimstage Maze.
"I would appeal to anyone in the local area who saw anyone acting suspiciously around Brimstage Road or has any information about the burglary or thinks they have been offered the guns for sale to contact us."
