Exotic and rare fish worth thousands of pounds were scooped from their tanks and stolen in a raid on an aquatic shop.

An estimated £15,000 worth of fish, coral and equipment were stolen from CK Aquatics at Wyevale Garden Centre, in South Hinksey, Oxford, during a raid on Saturday night.

Thieves cut through locks on a security gate and forced open a door before taking more than 100 of the most expensive fish from their tanks.

It is believed they left with £8,000 worth of exotic marine life including Angel Fish, Butterfly Fish, Dwarf Angels and Hermit Crabs
 

The most expensive fish stolen were Emperor Angels worth £80 each.

A pile of bags - believed to be of the type used to carry away the fish - was left at the scene.

Joint owner Carole Beesley fears the break-in could have been committed to order, because only the specialist fish, and guide books on how to care for them, were stolen.

She said: "I noticed the side gate was open and saw the alarm had been tripped. I then saw the mess inside and just burst into tears.
