A digger was stolen from the front garden of a property in Maple Cross.

Police said the orange mini-digger was loaded into the back of a white van on Thursday, May 5, between 10pm and 10.30pm in Pinchfield.

PC Samuel Coomber, who is investigating, said: “I am appealing for anyone who remembers seeing a suspicious white van in the area around the times stated to please get in touch.

“It is believed it may have been in convoy with a small red hatchback.

“I’d also like to hear from anyone who has any other information about the theft.”
