Selby police are investigating after an expensive lawnmower was stolen from a bowling club.

The green Dennis mower was taken after a secure container was broken into at North Duffield Bowling Club, York Road, on February 8.

It is thought the thieves had damaged the container while making an unsuccessful attempt to break into it the previous night.

The mower, which is worth £3,000, has a Peter Wright Crockey Hill Lawnmowers sticker on the side.
