The replica Home Guard Dad's Army uniform that was stolen after Julian Dutton's show at Colchester Arts Centre on Sunday night has been found.

Dutton had been performing his tribute to the actor who played Sergeant Wilson, Do You Think That's Wise? – The Life And Times Of John Le Mesurier, at the venue and while he was packing his things up his props and costume along with laptop and wallet and phone were stolen.

Some equipment has been recovered from a Colchester shop and Dutton and just confirmed that his costume and props have been discovered in a bush near the theatre,
