Officers believe that a group of children may have been involved in stealing the bottle of weedkiller and two hammers from two sheds at allotments in Wilton Lane, Guisborough, east Cleveland.

The weedkiller was in a small, brown bottle which was not properly marked.

It was believed to have been taken at about 5pm on Monday.
