Appeal following theft of garden ornaments

Police are appealing for witnesses following the theft of two garden ornaments from a house on Main Street, Normanton near Bottesford, Leicestershire.
The incident happened between 5pm on Monday April 20 and 11am on Tuesday April 21, when two stone ornaments were taken from the top of two pillars situated at the entrance to the driveway.
The ornaments were described as stone Pineapples, around three to four feet in height.

"We would like anyone with any information on the theft or anyone who has been approached by someone trying to sell an ornament like the ones described to contact us."
