Burglars broke into the storage facility near Chichester and stole more than 1,000 bottles of whiskey, rum, vodka and other spirits

Thieves have stolen a collection of more than 1,000 rare whiskeys worth at least £50,000 from a lockup in West Sussex.

Burglars broke into the storage facility near Chichester on the night of 16 May and stole more than 1,000 bottles of whiskey, rum, vodka and other spirits, Sussex Police said. The owner had spent 10 years and more than £50,000 building up his collection, which contained liquors from Japan, India, Taiwan and beyond.

The victim, 35, told Sky News:"My initial reaction was shock. But then there was this overwhelming sense of panic and loss, I felt sick to my stomach."Several of the bottles have huge sentimental value, including a 1973 Bowmore Single Malt given to the collector by his father on a trip to a distillery for his 12th birthday.He said:"My father and I visited the Scottish isles when I was younger and we went to lots of distilleries.

"When I was old enough to drink I started to get into it more, but in the past 10 years I've really started to develop my palette and understand the industry.
