Warning on theft of garden tools

POLICE are urging owners of lawnmowers and other expensive garden equipment to check their security arrangements.
Sgt Steve Pearse, of Safer Ryedale Partnership said: "As spring is upon us we are reaching the time when lawnmowers and other power tools and garden equipment are being used and owners must check they are happy with their security arrangements." His warning follows the theft of a £300 Honda lawnmower from a building in the cemetery grounds in Dog Kennel Lane, Thornton-le-Dale. It had been locked but was broken into and police are urging people to ensure locks are strong enough

Gardien Tip: The value of garden equipment and tools is generally under-estimated by a large margin and protection is inadequate. See the advice and products available at www.garden-security.co.uk
