While we have no affiliation with Gorse Military Surplus, we felt the need to share this as it’s quite frankly disgusting. Based in Thetford, the large military surplus store had a break-in recently, and the list of items stoles is extensive. If anyone is offered any surplus items, stay vigilant and contact the team at Gorse Military Surplus.

Gorse Military Surplus added the following to their social media account recently –

“Unfortunately we were burgled last night so we will be shut for the foreseeable future.
As soon as we can open again we will notify you all.
In the mean time if anybody is offered a job lot of military jackets, knives, bayonets, rations, helmets, airsoft guns, mines, bivy bags, boots or anything else military related that doesn’t seem right, please do the right thing and let us know who offered it to you. There will be a list to follow. Text or call me on my number.”

They later added an extensive list of what was stolen after doing a stock take –
