Increase in UK garden furniture theft, warns Altons Garden Centre

 

 
The great British summertime has resulted in many taking advantage of the weather; including hosting BBQs, planting exotic flowers as well as stealing expensive garden furniture.
Due to the extended hours of sunshine and tropical temperatures, more people are spending their time outdoors - whether its topping up their tan or tending to the garden. But unfortunately, by bringing out their best garden wares, has resulted in thieves trying their luck and stealing items such as garden benches and lawnmowers.
One region in particular has fallen victim to such a crime. Devon and Cornwall Police statistics reported 837 thefts in Cornwall back in 2012 with garden furnishings reported missing from sheds, outbuildings and outside homes.
