Thieves left a church choir unable to perform hymns after stealing their keyboard from a church hall in Langley, Slough on Saturday.
Two men entered the Holy Family Church, Trelawney Avenue at about 10am through a side door, and seized the Yamaha keyboard. One of the men was later seen carrying it.
Both men were white, aged 18 – 30, and slim. One of them is 5ft 8ins and wearing a grey hooded top with a coloured pattern on the front. The other is 5ft 11ins and wearing a black hooded top.
Police are urging anyone with information to contact PC Purewal on 0845 8 505 505, or for anonymity call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

I retrieved this story from a press release from my local area. I thought that it was a nice piece to write because the story was locally based and was a human-interest piece.
I immediately realised that there were two points that needed to be focussed on here.
Firstly, I wanted to focus on the fact that a small local choir had been stolen from and they had been left unable to sing, as they so enjoy.
Secondly, I was aware that the press release contained information about witnesses coming forward and had identification for the thieves, and so I wanted to make sure that I presented that very clearly in my article.
I therefore decided to keep this piece relatively short, as overall it is an appeal to find witnesses and only the necessary information was required.
As the church is actually just over the road from where I live I would have liked to have been able to have a brief interview with someone there, but the press release clearly stated that no one from the church was available for media interviews.
