AN angry Star reader is urging gardeners to be extra vigilant after hanging baskets were snatched from the front of her home for the fourth time in six months.

Christina Ashcroft had two £15 baskets taken from the front wall of her house in Axbridge Avenue, Sutton Leach during the evening of Saturday, March 29.

She said: "I am absolutely fuming. These people have no respect for anyone's property. They trample all over my garden and then have the cheek to scale the wall and steal the baskets even though they are hung 12 feet above the ground. I want to warn people to be on their guard against these thieves."
