Stitch Up the Threads of the Theft - Can YOU Solve the Mystery?

Oh no! The crime of the year has been committed in South Molton. Local eccentric, 'Knitting' Nancy, has been robbed. It seems that some of her crazy cabled cardigans were more valuable than people thought. Nancy is all in a tiz-woz as she had been tied up with her own wool. The thief wore a catsuit and mask, but Nancy did spot a tattoo on the back of their hand. She thinks it was an object of some sort but can't remember precisely what.

But fear not, DCI Steve Tichup is on the case. He has trawled the files and come up with a list of local suspects and clues around town. Finding out what the tattoo looked like would help, but linking that to the identity of one of the suspects would be brilliant! DCI Steve Tichup needs YOUR help! Can you unravel this mystery, avoid any woolly evidence and put the minds of this close-knit community at ease? Good luck, Detectives!
