A banner promoting Swindon's pantomime has disappeared.

The five metre long banner, worth £200 and advertising the Wyvern Theatre show Aladdin, was attached by plastic cable ties to railings near Theatre Square.

"We would like it back,'' said theatre spokesman Jamie Walker. "The banner is very expensive.''

Aladdin stars Aleetza Wood from TV's Home and Away, Juliette Kaplan from Last of the Summer Wine and Geoff Hinsliff, formerly of Coronation Street.

The panto runs from December 15 to January 13.

Police are investigating the theft if you can help with their inquiries call Swindon 528111.
