A large Privet hedge cut in the shape of a stag was dug up and stolen by thieves from  Nuneham Courtenay garden centre this week.

Between about 7pm on Monday and 8am on Tuesday the hedge was plundered from the driveway of Notcutts Garden Centre. 

It measured about 2ft wide, 8ft long and 8ft tall and was supported by wire mesh inside the foliage.

Officers would like to speak to anyone with information about the theft or the whereabouts of the hedge. Please call 101 if you can help.
