Raiders struck at Walkers Nurseries in Blaxton, making off with the black, metal gate and its mountings, less than a month after it was first installed.

"A brand new 40ft long electric powered security gate was stolen.

“It has only been fitted a month and would have had to have been a large lorry with a hi hiab to lift it off its runnners.

"They have even stolen all the mounting frame too. This wouldn’t have been a five minute crime so please. if anyone saw a vehicle on the left side of road travelling towards Blaxton, let me know.”
