How sad

What the poor parents must have felt :(

BBC NEWS | England | Merseyside | Falcon chicks 'stolen for trade'

Very sad and the Peregrine is very heavily protected I hope these people get caught.
These birds are in the amber status too.

I can't understand why DEFRA are considering removing them from the list of registered birds, as tat will surely increase this type of incident.

Yes. I don't think the RSPB are very happy about it
