GREEN-fingered thieves have stolen shrubs from a new development in Chippenham. 

Twelve mature shrubs - worth around £1,000 - were taken from outside Bloor Homes sales centre in Easton Lane, Wiltshire Police said.

A silver saloon style car was seen pulling up in front of the building at 10pm on Saturday.

The driver then reportedly leant over a small wall at the front of the sales centre and pulled up the shrubs before driving off.
