Moped stolen from garden

POLICE are appealing for information after a moped was stolen from the rear garden of a home in South Somerset. The theft took place sometime between Saturday, September 17, and Saturday, September 24, when a yellow Gilera 50cc moped was taken from a garden in Baunton's Orchard, Milborne Port.
The moped was stolen with the rear number plate still attached but it is not drivable, possibly stolen for scrap.
PCSO Mandy Forsey said: "This has made the victim very distressed - the victim was hoping to sell it for scrap to enable him to be able to buy something else.
"We are appealing for anyone locally who may have seen or heard these people to come forward. If you see a vehicle matching this description or it is seen or dumped we would ask you to report it to police." Anyone with information can contact local police on the new non-emergency number of 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800-555111.
