Distinctive chairs stolen in overnight raid on Hillier garden centre
The raid happened at some point between 6pm on Monday, May 5 and 7am Tuesday, May 6.

Other items taken by the burglars include a Karcher Xpert HD 7125X pressure washer and a Karcher window washing attachment, a JCB 24v lithium cordless drill, a Stanley 26inch Professional toolbox containing Stanley knives and screwdrivers and, two Cobra walkie-talkies and a Barbour-style green wide-brimmed hat.

It is estimated that the cost of the items stolen amounts to around £2,000.

The chairs are very visually distinctive with a lattice patterned seat and fretwork back. They are only distributed in the UK through limited dealers, so police are urging anyone who may have been offered similar items for sale to contact them.

It is not known how the burglars managed to enter the garden centre in Jermyns Lane and steal the items.

Hillier has 13 garden centres across the UK and this year the company is celebrating its 150th anniversary.
