A Gloucestershire police spokesman said: "We have had another theft in the Didmarton area where another petrol strimmer has been taken.

"If you own a petrol strimmer can you please make sure it is put away in a save place, and make sure all sheds and outbuildings are locked up.

"It also might be worth painting your post code on all large items in your shed, in bright Hammerite paint as this will put offenders off taken them."
