THE search for two 15in green leprechaun ornaments has begun after they were stolen from a garden.
Mary Cook, 60, of Huntley Road, Hartlepool, said they were stolen from her garden between January 5 and January 12.
She said: "I am disabled so I do not get out an awful lot, and I take a lot of pleasure from looking out at my garden. They were my first ornaments in my garden and it is a little upsetting.
"I also have a joke sign out there, which says 'hello, welcome... now sod off', which is my kind of humour. I just wish they had taken the message."
One of the leprechauns carries a fiddle. Anyone with information is asked to call police on (01642) 302126.
