South Holland Police are investigating three thefts of gardening equipment in the Suttons area.

In the latest incident lawnmowers and strimmers were stolen from a workshop on Hospital Road in Sutton Bridge which occurred at some point overnight on June 25 to 26.

It follows two other incidents.

This first incident, at Sutton Bridge Golf Club, happened at some point overnight on June 21 and 22.

An outbuilding was broken into and a John Deere Gator was taken along with three chainsaws and a petrol strimmer.
