Appeal after green bench stolen from Harrogate property

Friday, 3 January 2025 07:34

Police appeal: This green bench has been taken from a property in Harrogate.

Police have launched an appeal after a cast iron bench was stolen from a street in Harrogate.

The green bench was taken from a property on Ashfield Terrace, likely in the few days leading up to 20th December.

Due to the weight of the bench, it’s believed at least two people and a vehicle would have been needed to carry it away from the property.

A police spokesperson said:

“We’re appealing to anyone in the area who saw any suspicious activity including any residents with doorbell cameras or CCTV cameras that may have captured the suspects on camera.

“We’re also asking anyone who may have been offered the bench for sale or has seen it advertised for sale, to get in touch.

“Please email kyle.mcbride@northyorkshire.police.uk if you have any information that could help our investigation.

“Alternatively, you can call North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2 and ask for PC 593 McBride, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via their website.”

Please quote reference 12240232738 when passing on information.
