Medieval-Themed Costumes Stolen From Theatre Company

Its a little funny, though.

If you happen to spot three grown adults walking through Victoria in Game Of Thrones-esque attires, you may want to let the police know because they are on the loose.

Unfortunately it’s not as badass in the sense that there are White Walkers amongst us, but rather a bunch of medieval props that were stolen from a local Melbourne theatre company.

As The Guardian reports, three full suits of armour, 11 prop swords, three Inquisition helmets and other items have been stolen from the Cloc Musical Theatre Company, which is believed to have occurred sometime between last Thursday night and Friday morning.

In a statement, police (hilariously) said: "Have you seen a trio of aspiring thespians/thieves re-enacting a scene from Game of Thrones with rather realistic costumes?"

"Kingston crime investigation unit detectives are trying to locate a number of costumes and props stolen from a community theatre company in Heatherton last week."

The props have come from a production of the musical Man Of La Mancha – the story of a knight and his encounter with the Spanish Inquistion.

Police believe the culprits were involved with the production in some way as the building where the costumes were kept was the only one of the entire complex that did not have CCTV cameras.

Theatre manager Greg Alley said what had been stolen was incredibly valuable to the production and company.

"What has been stolen is irreplaceable," Alley said.

"There was specialised armour originally made in the US and weaponry of various different types taken, including a collection of swords."
