Police believe people who stole safe from youth hostel in ski resort used snowboard to transport it away
Swiss police say thieves took a 100kg safe from a youth hostel in a ski resort and apparently used a stolen snowboard to make off with it.
Police in the Swiss canton of Graubünden said someone broke into the building in Valbella, in the south-east of the country, on Monday night or in the early hours of Tuesday.
They took the safe from the hostel's office, along with an unspecified quantity of cash and cheques. A snowboard was also taken and police said in a statement that they believe it was used to transport the safe.
Police appealed for information from anyone who might have seen anything suspicious.
