Over 5k of newly planted hedge was stolen Aylsham/Brampton way! Bizarre! . . . . Stop beating about the bush fellas who's got it? I would of said ******, but they would take offence. Must be covid blow ins hedging there bets. Or there buddies needing to top up there hedge funds. Either way gota be a job for special branch. But being Xmas even they'l just yule log it, maybe leaf through before getting stumped, instead of getting to the root of the matter. 😉 NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 On a serious note for a moment, plant theft is more common than you might imagine, during my brief time with the council I worked for the parks dept and newly planted flower beds would get raided as soon as they were put out. I would imagine a whole hedge would be a prime target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymo Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 The suspect ‘Laurel’, was last seen on the beech before being chased by some ‘nut’ . The Police are hedging their bets as to the culprits but think they will get to the root of who is behind it. Rumour has it they have a ‘plant’ in place!

figgy Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) 5k of hedge even at mates rates will still be worth a few quid. Nice little earner for someone just before Christmas. Theft of garden plants shrubs and ornaments is a big problem. Costs a fortune to landscape plant and put ornaments in a garden.

Good shot? Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 Apparently Farmer said "I know it's the season of good will but my good will doesn't stretch that far." Unfortunately neither does his hedge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
