POLICE hope the public will be able to help after the second incident of theft in Tyson Square, Ulverston, in less than a week.

A one-foot tall fibreglass elephant ornament was taken from the front garden of a house in the square sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Officers would like to speak to a young male, who was wearing a grey hooded jumper and was spotted in the area.

The incident follows the theft of two grey meerkat ornaments and a fawn coloured Bambi-style ornament from a garden sometime between Wednesday and Friday.

Anyone who can help should contact Cumbria Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
