POLICE in Chester-le-Street say they want the owners of £1,500 worth of stolen garden furniture to come forward and claim their property.
Officers have recovered garden equipment including patio furniture, terracotta plant pots and bedding plants that were stolen from gardens in the Pelton and Perkinsville areas.
Following a series of thefts at the end of June, police issued a number of search warrants in Pelton village, arresting five people in connection with the garden furniture.
Most of the equipment has been returned to its owners, but everything pictured has remained unclaimed.
Anyone who recognises property that belongs to them should contact Chester-le-Street police on 0191-386 4929.
